Freshly groomed with 15" of new snow. There is still good skiing up north. Some branches under pine trees. There was 6+" of base before the last snow.

We used both Ginzus this morning to cover our rolling from two days ago. The tracks are ok in most places, thin in some. Skate corduroy is also somewhat mixed, sometimes great, sometimes crumbled. But we were able to level everything out so skiing will be much better than yesterday.

Official snowfall = 13.2 inches! Wet, heavy snow. We rolled it this morning when the temperature was about 24 and that wet snow had frozen. The sleds stayed on top of the crust for the most part, and our rollers only compacted about 4", but the results were good. Warm temp's will make the trail slushy in the afternoons but mornings should be great. Many pine branches had broken off and fallen on the trail so that there are messy sections.

A clipper left less than 2" snow last night that mixed nicely with the existing base. Ginzu goomed all trails and set a deeep track. Skiers were arriving as I left.

Plus 20! Sunshine! What a beautiful day to be out grooming. We pulled both Ginzus around all segments. We did pull a lot of snow, but no problems.

After two 4" snow days followed by 2 packing and rolling days we were finally able to groom this morning. It was cold and windy but the tracks set well and skate lane should be firm. Looks perfect, but too cold for pictures.

A couple of inches of light snow. We groomed all trails w both Ginzus. Trail looks great but I suspect it's a bit soft right now- we were pulling a lot of snow.

More snow, this time with ice. More grooming adventures. We rolled everything first, then roll and drag, finally double Ginzu and set tracks which looked perfect. Cold and very windy.

More snow! More grooming! Almost too much snow for the Ginzus, got stuck a couple of times. The track is beautiful, skate lane also very nice.

Yesterday's high winds settled down. We groomed in about 10 below and got everything once. The tracks are good except for the Green where they are sometimes a bit shallow. The skate deck is great!
