Conditions: A bit firmer than yesterday; good skiing.
Not much new to report other than I had less of an issue with the poles going through the surface today, and overall the trail seemed to have firmed up. Another beautiful day of skiing. Be aware that a snowmobile tore-up the first km or so leaving the parking lot. Apparently that person could not read the signs (Ski Trail) until they were far enough out to do some damage.

Conditions: Good, but soft in a few stretches.
Got on the trails this morning for first time since last Sunday. I found the trails in very good condition with fresh, exposed corduroy on the track side of the skating lane. The other half had in most places 1-2+ inches of new powder. Semi firm for the skis, but I was still having problems with the poles punching through, a bit frustrating if trying for power while going up some of the steeper climbs. Overall good skiing and it was a beautiful day.

Conditions: Good skiing; marginally better than yesterday.
Trail remains soft over most of what I skied today. I can't be certain but it looks like they made another pass with the Pisten Bully. Colder temperatures apparently have prevented set of the base. Beautiful day out there though!

Conditions: Deep but a little soft.
Went out late this afternoon and classic skied until dark. Lots of fresh snow at Andes with about 16" in the past week and a hard base underneath. Both skate and classic trail are a little soft yet, more so the classic. The skate base was setting up pretty firm by the time I left. Only real issue today was that they again set the classic tracks out on the edge of the packed base, thus your outside pole goes pretty deep quite often. One other thing, snow is not only deep on the ground, it's thick upon the branches and boughs of most every tree. Result is a beautiful winter wonderland. Check it out.

Conditions: Variable, but good skiing.
Recently groomed via Pisten Bully, but still many stretches are hollow underneath. My biggest problem was with my poles punching through rather than my skis. Firmer in other sections that skied nicely. Perhaps needless to say there's an ample base and coverage is excellent. Colder temperatures today made for slower speeds.
