A race was on going when I arrived around 9:30 am. Snow was soft, slow and sugary in many places, not sure if due to temperature or intensive usage due to the race. Only the usual loop including the donut was open.

I skied classic at Elm Creek this morning, when I started the tracks were in very good shape and I was getting good kick most of the time. They had made snow for the donut last night and it was open this morning, I found the kick and glide a bit inconsistent, but that was probably the new made snow. Just before I left they started a race and in one of my laps some areas of the tracks were almost completely gone from the racers skating over them. A big thanks to the groomers for such good conditions despite the unseasonal weather.

The groomers did an excellent job of reviving the trail. With fresh man-made snow and grooming the North Donut is open again as well.

EC was closed (fenced off at the parking lot) before sunrise. Quite a few snow guns on the ski trails and the groomers had been pushing snow around as well.

I was pleasantly surprised at how much of a difference a half inch of new snow made in the tracks. I even got enough kick to make it up the hill. The skate deck looked like a lot of sugar everywhere. The donut is closed so you have to turn around at the chalet. They didn't have any snow guns on the xc ski areas.

Both donuts are closed so the trail is open from the chalet to the South Donut then returning to the chalet via Elm's Everest. It was like skiing on a giant snow cone. Very soft ice; just a few of us had already rutted the skate deck. We were sinking in up to 6" on the uphills.
