Very good conditions. Skied the trails yesterday afternoon with some blue wax: 2 to 1 to 18 to 19 to 20 to 16 to 17 to 3 to 2 and back home to NFL. Awesome with the exception of a broken ski pole basket. Get your polar wax out for the next few days. We have too much availability on weekend of February 1st! Please come visit! Also, if you've been skiing the trails, please take time to leave a report.

Many skiers enjoyed the trails this past weekend and reported good ski conditions. Fat bikers indicated the trails were on the soft side. Still very good conditions. Trails got some traffic over the weekend but track conditions remain good. About 3 feet of snow off the trails and 10-20" base.

Trails are in wonderful shape. Some of the best conditions I've seen in years. Woods are magical; every tree dusted with snow. Andy is working very hard to get them all groomed.

Excellent conditions after a foot of snow. Still working the trails. About 50% tracked, including fat bike trails. Out this morning to hopefully finish up in time for more snow later today. Flathorn public access was not plowed as of yesterday, but the loop and adjacent trails are groomed. 10-18" packed base. 24" plus trail-side.
