More snow! Yes! Groomers hit Tilson Creek this morning and it looks fabulous! We pulled lots of snow in front of the Ginzus, but got it all done without trouble. Do not ski today, it will be too soft. (Classic might be ok, check to see you are not ruining our beautiful tracks.) This is the time of year when you can prolong good skiing by only using the trail when the snow is firm. If you see you are leaving deep cuts, turn back, please. Down on the Red, we followed a pair of wolves for nearly the entire trail - neat to be out there.

The temps have been in the upper 40s for several days. Today with colder weather we ran both Ginzus over all trail segments including the Big Bad Blue Hill Trail. The tracks on the Green are thin but are OK elsewhere. The skating is fabulous!

We have 24” in the woods and 5” of new snow. Freshly groomed for skating and no tracks for classic. The trail was in great condition but a little slow because of fresh snow. I never saw anyone on the trail.

Tilson Creek got about 6” of heavy snow ending Thursday morning. After an unsuccessful attempt at rolling yesterday, we returned this morning and used the drag and roller on all trails including the perilous Big Bad Blue Hill trail. Was a perfect day in the woods - sunny and crisp. About zero at 8 AM and +35 at noon. Skate lane looks great.

Ran the Ginzu with teeth down to refresh hard packed skate deck over outer loop of Green, Orange, Yellow, and Red trails. Looked good!

Perfect day to groom! We ran both Ginzus over all the skate lanes this morning in bright sunshine and moderate temps. We did not try to re cut tracks, and left the Big Bad Blue hill trail alone. The refurbished skate lane looks super!

In honor of Birkie weekend we groomed and tracked all the regular trails on Monday. We left the Big Bad Blue Hill trail as it was, just rolled, because we don’t think we can pull Ginzus there. The tracks are mostly fine, with some shallow areas. Skate lanes are in great shape.

After nearly 2 weeks without snow we finally groomed new snow on Tilson Creek yesterday, pulling both Ginzus to set tracks and do the skate lane. Then of course it snowed last night. I rolled the skate lane on all trails including the Big Bad Blue Hill trail this morning.

I skied this trail on New Years Eve 2019. The area had just been dumped on with snow and there were no tracks set. So I thought I'd try it again as long as I was in the neighborhood. Nice! The whole trail had 1-2 inches of fluff so I had to break trail but the tracks were solid. Skied everything except the red trail; even went to the VNP just to see what that was all about. The return on the blue trail was way cool. There are some nice hills hidden in the back 40. One other skier who was skating and grinning. He lapped me about 6 times. He was nice enough to thank me for packing down the tracks in anticipation of all the weekend skiers. Nice job grooming!
