I skied Hiram again today and the warm sunny weather yesterday afternoon exposed more bare ground and leaves in the track. There is also an icy glaze in many areas now. Part of the trail system was also walked on. It was still a fun fast ski but you have to step out of the track in many areas to avoid the bare spots. It needs more snow and grooming again.

Hiram Ski Trail got its first grooming of the season today. We have cleared the trail of the downed trees and brush after the heavy wet snow a few weeks ago. The track is fairly shallow with exposed ground in some areas but you can always step out of the track to one side or another and avoid the bare spots. The snow was fairly fast this afternoon even with the temperature at 37 degrees. We need more snow to do a better job of grooming.
