There was enough new snow to preclude using the Ginzus until we had packed with sleds and rolled. Once that was done we were able to run both Ginzus around all trails, setting tracks on Green, Orange, Yellow, and Red trails. I’m still suggesting B skis because of thin coverage on the Red Trail. If you skip the Red you can use your best skis. The snow was soft after our first runs but by the time we left at 4 pm it was setting up nicely.

Set tracks on Green, Orange, and Yellow trails with Ginzu this morning. Looked quite nice in most places, a tad thin in some. I did turn up leaves in a couple of spots, but overall the tracks are good. The skate lane is fine on all trails, although you must step over some rocks on the Red trail. I skied it all this afternoon using good skis.

With about 4” of dense snow we packed and rolled all trails except the Blue. It was 14F below when we started, very dry snow that will take some time to set up I suspect. The flats and “cut overs” look really good. The rocky places on the Red are still only thinly covered and bear watching.

First day of winter, first day of grooming. Just enough snow to make it worthwhile. We used the little drag ahead of the roller on all trails except the Blue. It was quite soft when we left, but should improve as time goes by. Yippee.
