We have received a lot of heavy, wet snow the last two days. This will be great for making a base for a winter of great skiing. We need to give the snow time to dry out before putting equipment on it. We also have many trees and branches down, so grooming will take time. Grooming plans: We plan to start grooming the trails on Friday.

All trails are now groomed with "early season" conditions except Odden's Ridge Run and the Corkscrew. Tracks are set on most trails, but use rock skis in the tracks. The skate deck is pretty good, watch for thin spots. We are currently grooming with the Track Truck as we want more snow before firing up the Pisten Bully.

Skied the available trails, which included the shortest loop (the cabin is on) and the alternative loop. Good conditions for early season! A bit thin in places but overall nice.

The following trails were groomed (packed only) on Thursday: Short Loop, Cervenka's Curl, and Alternative Trail (approximately 10 km). There is not enough snow to set tracks. Expect some decent skiing with a thin base - use your rock skis. We will need more snow to have great conditions, but it's a start.
Update: Good reports from Friday - skiers are finding the conditions better than expected on the trails that are groomed.
