Conditions were great at Hyland this morning but, unfortunately, Frog Town, Scenic Foothills and Boulder Ridge loops are now closed. Skate deck was firm, well-groomed and fast. Quite a few folks were enjoying an early morning ski.

Hyland was down to two well groomed K's this morning. Hopefully temporary as it's a damn shame to throw away perfectly good white snow like that.

I was ready to call it quits for the season last Friday--but Hyland keeps calling me back! We had a good ski at 1:00 pm. Yes, it was soft, but we still had a decent kick and glide in the tracks. It just felt good to be out on the trails soaking up that warm sunshine.

It's impressive that there's so much snow left and how great Hyland's grooming continues to be. I skied a little late for perfect conditions, between 2 and 4 pm, after the snow had turned to corn. The sun, light wind and solitude made for a wonderful ski.

The never ending season! Wonderful conditions. 28 degree morning temp and skillful grooming created a solid deck and great skiing until after noon when it was getting soft in the sun. Thanks Three Rivers and groomers!

Still good skiing at Hyland! Deck and tracks were powertilled and reset. Used skin skis and they worked great. Skaters were cruising! Beautiful spring ski morning! 8-10 was big time fun!

Hyland continues to deliver a magic ski deck. The groomers have done a stellar job of keeping the skiing going during the melt down. The entire loop is solid with a few melt divots showing up. A full track of transformed snow is set on the entire loop. Get after it while you can.
