Really thin conditions persist at Carver today. Lots of debris sticking through the base and “stuck” a ski on them several times. I will wait for some new snow to return here.

Skied Lake and King and a bit around the base area. Snow bullet proof hard and rutted, thin coverage so lots of foliage poking through. Still very skiable and was fun to be out there, just don’t expect to go fast. Classic tracks looked very washed out in most places.

Parked by the Grimm house and skied the Grimm trail twice. Nearly 100% coverage but glad I had my B skis. There is some tall grass poking through and thin coverage in the open areas but no problem finding sufficient snow. Super quiet compared to Hyland - I only saw three other skiers.

Nice ski on Grimm, Lake, Sugar bush, and Sky. Beautiful morning was out from 8 to 9. Snow cover better than I expected. There were grass spots and sticks poking thru in some sections and some rocks.

I skied King, Grimm and Lake. I was able to glide all the way around these loops, and while there were some sections of very nice snow, they were connected by some real ugly areas. Most of this was grass, however there are sections with some gravel mixed in, and bike paths under 1" of soft base.

Skied carver at 9 this morning. Lake and Nature trails groomed two passes wide, no track set. Plenty of snow grass sticking out in a few places. But over all it was skiable. King and Grimm only one groomer width wide; disappointingly narrow. Long decent on king is a hot mess. I didn't bother trying Grimm. Didn't see Three Rivers out there when I was there.

Soft but good conditions this morning. The bottom half of the trail system seems to be mostly open. No classic tracks that I saw.
