Very fast for conditions. Groomed from yesterday so it was a little uneven and hard. Parts of Grimm were windswept with drifting on north side. Should be better tomorrow. Classic tracks good.

Yesterday’s grooming but it was fine. Hopped in track a few times and that was fine also. I think what happened is the frost on trees fell on trails creating about a half inch of fluff which was slow. In the open areas no fluff.

Skied King and Grimm around sunset. Both were were rolled but were quite soft with a lot of loose snow. Skier set track in places, but not great. Slow going.

Everything was rolled once but only Sky and Sugar Bush were groomed for skate. No classic set. Tomorrow should be better.

Sheer ice on downhills. Probably the most dangerous trail conditions I have skied. There were a few good sections, and the off-piste crust was great. But the trails were so icy in places that skiing was hazardous.

Curiosity got the best of me and I went out on the King trail and the part of the Sugar Bush trail leading out to the King trail. Overall I'd rate the trails as in poor conditions due to iciness, although the conditions were extremely variable, with much in fair to good condition with a few sections that were essentially unskiable. At some point I stopped skiing down the bigger hills of the King trail because they were too icy, and started walking down off-trail. There were also some spots in low-lying areas with bare ground, although avoidable, and one short segment of the trail that was mostly solid ice over otherwise exposed ground. The Sugar Bush trail seemed in better condition, although I didn't ski it all. The park report said they groomed the trail shortly after I was done.

Icy in the open areas. Fine in the woods. No new grooming as of 9am. Section 2 JV championships tomorrow, Thursday.

Skate skied today the lake loop and inner trails, it was much icier than our ski on Sunday, although the trails were completely covered and no bare spots. No grooming was done today that I could see so just a small amount of top snow, fast yes, but pretty hard to push off. We need more snow!

Very nice. Groomers had made two passes by 9am for skate skiing. Classic is probably next, although hopping in classic track was not bad. Brought B skis but A skis would be fine. Ran into daddy daughter day on King trail.

Carver is in very good shape given the recent warming. I skated a couple of laps around the King and Grimm Farm loops. There are no unavoidable bare spots and little leaf or twig debris on the trails. The downhills are getting snowplowed into oblivion but still very ski-able. The tracks were set and seemed good but not great.
