Morning
Firsthand: Freestyle 
[ B skis ]
Conditions: Firm, dirty, fast for skaters.
It was delightful this morning. Most trails scarified for decent skating, glazed tracks fast for skate rest. The Alps had not been touched in days, but cover was good so it might survive the sun today. A few corners gray or dirty, but you could see them coming to avoid.

Afternoon
Firsthand: Freestyle 
[ B skis ]
Conditions: Recently groomed. Very good. Excellent on Friday.
Thank you trail groomers for keeping trails in great shape. Trails system was worked extensively on Friday, believe with a chipper allowing for great skiing even though warm weather was due. Definately makes purchasing the season pass worthwhile. Thanks for the deligent work.

Morning
Firsthand: Freestyle 
[ B skis ]
Conditions: Skate deck has been scratched this morning, hard, fast and stable. Tracks are hard, icy, leaves, sticks, pine needles...fair to poor.
Better ski today or tomorrow.

Evening
Firsthand: Classic 
[ Good skis ]
Conditions: Very hard skate lanes, but they were roughed up enough that my skis did not slip on as I pushed off.
Skied the lighted loop. Not sure what they will be able to do with it--can they groom it and soften it a bit more? Still, it was an enjoyable--albeit loud--outing.

Morning
Firsthand: Classic 
[ B skis ]
Conditions: The trails at nine mile were solid, did not see any dirt but a fair amount of oak leaves in classic tracks made for lots of broken strides.
There was no ice only a hard packed powder base with really solid tracks and a hard skate deck. Real fast for classic and a good grip with the cold wax. The deer were pawing up lots of oak leaves in spots that end up on the trail.

Afternoon
Firsthand: Freestyle 
[ Good skis ]
Conditions: Fair, lots of debris, soft track in places.
Overall this is a great place to ski. Skating deck in general is solid. However the warmer weather today and yesterday made for tough skiing. Today the snow was soft, sticky, and slow, with a fair amount of debris.

Afternoon
Firsthand: Freestyle 
[ Good skis ]
Conditions: Full coverage, nicely groomed, a little soft.
Nine Mile is in very good condition. All trails are groomed and tracked. Just a few (very few) spots where non-snow particles are visible - easy to ski around. Very nice skiing!

Afternoon
Firsthand: Freestyle 
[ Good skis ]
Skied 20 km loop on Thursday. Everything has been groomed and is starting to set-up nicely. Back trails have some soft spots. Main Street and trails with lots of traffic are quite solid. Everything is covered and skiing should be great for the weekend.

Afternoon
Firsthand: Classic 
[ Good skis ]
Conditions: What a difference a few days make! We skied almost all groomed trails. The alps were not groomed (until tomorrow I guess?). Conditions were very good, minimal pine needles in heavy pine areas due to high winds, no dirt or gravel anywhere, only the white stuff, ya!
Really, really good especially "r'and "s" loops, less use, great tracks and skate deck.
