All 40k+ of core trails groomed this morning with light snow still falling. The skate lanes are in great condition and classic tracks shaped up beautifully, with about 4-6 inches of base left. Come on up and ski an Ashwa-Birkie!

Decent base and full snow coverage. Conditions are soft (minimal recent grooming due to warm temps).

The groomers regroomed all the ski trails Tuesday night. There is still plenty of base, and the trails groomed up to very good conditions. Tracks didn't set as well in the places exposed to lots of sun.

With 6-8 inches of new snow, the grooming crew was busy and groomed all the trails! There are no thin spots, only fresh snow groomed in over a firm base. Should be some good skiing.

Slogged through 3+ inches of new snow during a snow squall. Bad idea to try to skate ski! Classic tracks were half buried, but usually better than trying to do V1. Met one other skier starting out to classic. Ok for fresh air and exercise but not for an enjoyable ski. Skied most outer skating loops.

We got about 1 inch of new snow today. The groomers regroomed and tracked the skate trails, including: Anchor, Jolly Long, Seagull, Rollercoaster and Telford. The groomer reported excellent conditions.

With a dusting of new snow, the skate trails were regroomed and tracked today, including: Anchor, Seagull, Jolly Long, Rollercoaster and Telford. The skate lanes weren't icy, but with the firm base underneath, were nice and fast. I'll try the classic tracks out later. Tomorrow night our groomers will regroom the race course to be ready for The Ashwabay Summit Ski Race, better known as the Pie Race, on Saturday. Hope to see you there!

With 3-4 inches of new snow, the groomers groomed and tracked all the trails today. The new snow made a huge difference on the trails. There is around 5-7 inches of packed base, no icy spots. I would rate the conditions as very good to excellent! Come and enjoy!

Conditions were fairly crusty and glazed, an earlier dusting from Friday having been worn into the tracks. Hill that are normally simple to ascend were suddenly a struggle. Downhills are fast with little available snow for control. The good news is that the tracks were firm and in good shape and its snowing now with more coming. The next few days should be very good to excellent.

Skied classic trails: Sugarbush, Oppedahl's and Birch Hill. Tracks were in great shape after recent grooming. Get out there and enjoy.
