Conditions in afternoon were slush, slush, slush. Classic track was mostly washed out. Skiers in the afternoon roughed it up quite a bit. Good workout though.

Skied Hyland this morning and the trail has held up - classic track was solid/icy and the skate deck was decent at 6:00 AM.

Slushy and soft on the climbs, not much glide on the flats. That being said, lots of people out and a great night on the snow. Still fantastic to be out and so thankful for the snowmaking and grooming that has happened!

I planned to take a rest day, but saw report from earlier this morning and decided to put my skis on. Amazing how much better the snow was this morning compared to 24 hours ago. The skate deck was firm and fast throughout the one-mile loop. There was some uphill sugar on the Star loop, but nothing like it was yesterday morning - very skiable. Thank you to the Hyland groomers and staff for the fantastic conditions!

A little more open, good conditions. Skate ski deck felt perfect. Noticed they had classic groomed all around. More people than I thought would be there.

As of 6:30 am, Hyland has a perfectly groomed 1 mile loop. The classic tracks were firm fast and plenty deep. The skate deck was really firm but felt like there was enough snow for good control.

Star loop is in good condition, although pretty loose on the uphills. Classic tracks were set. Staff informed me that Willow Creek will be opening Wednesday.

I did classic this morning at Hyland. The tracks were in good condition with only a couple of short areas skied or driven over. The skate deck started out fairly good at 9:30 but by 11 am the skaters were complaining about the sugar on the hills; it looked like birkie wave 3 to me. They had a couple of huge snow piles they were starting to plow out so maybe if the weather holds they will have another loop ready soon.

The skate deck was incredibly fast and hard. Skaters were really moving. But there were no classic tracks set. Snow guns were blowing making more snow.
