Awesome trail conditions today in Bunker. I skied the orange and purple loops in the park, and the green loop on the golf course and the conditions were great! Met the groomer on the trail and he said the blue skijoring loop would also be groomed today. They were using a big pistonbully groomer and it groomed fantastically. It might only last a few days but it was worth it!

No new grooming, slow going. Lots of powder, sticky. Skate deck is covered in a few inches so you'd have to make your own path. A few folks were out so the classic tracks are getting a little packed down. Beautiful day to be out and definitely worth it if you're not trying to set any records and you don't mind working a bit.

Fresh snow. Not groomed. It was slow going and sticky at times. The weather was beautiful with softly falling snow. Get out there for some of that, but you won't be going fast. And I wouldn't bother skate skiing here today either.

The groomers did a great job with the last snowfall, and the deck was in really good condition. I skated all the trails - golf course, skijor, and park, and they all had good coverage with no bare spots and only a few very minor icy spots. It was snowing fairly hard by late morning, so the corduroy was getting covered again but still easily skiable. Very enjoyable. The tracks looked good as well.

Skied the golf course (green) section for the first time this season. Classic tracks were set today and were a bit slow. A few icy spots, but overall good condition.

There are 3-4 inches of powder snow on the trails this morning. You can skate, but you are breaking in the trail.

The park website notes that the park and skijor were groomed on Wednesday, but there is 3-4" of fresh snow on top of an icy and uneven deck on all the trails. It's skiable, but don't expect to set any speed records. A few people had gone through on classic skis, so there are some manmade tracks on all the trails.

Beautiful day to get maybe one of my last weekend ski sessions in! Classic tracks were holding up pretty good, although definitely hit patches of ice here and there. As a beginner had some trouble staying in the tracks coming from steep hills into turns because the tracks were not stiff, but no major concerns. Started to slow down midday as temps warmed. Skate deck looked alright but had heavy marks on uphills and high traffic areas from the melt. Only experienced one area of no track on the connector from purple to green, where there's often a bare patch.

I visited Bunker Hills for the first time for some night skiing. Using classical technique on my old school "Kwik step" skis made in Finland and trusty headlight, I sampled both the orange and green loops. Classic tracks were set in both areas. Snow conditions were a bit challenging for me as a new skier; a combination of good areas, slushy areas, and icy ones. Overall a great work-out. My sincere thanks to the groomers. It was fantastic to experience the natural beauty of the area; moon and stars were out, and I even saw two deer.

Skated at Bunker yesterday when it was snowing, as the groomer was out around 10am. It was slow and soft, but they were taking multiple passes through the park and eventually the golf course. Checked again today, and It looked like they also did the golf course, but did not appear as though they set new classic tracks.
