Tracks were deep and great. Trail was freshly groomed with 20+ inches of snow on the ground. It was 28 above and sunny. Great day to be out on the trails.

We groomed and set a single track on the entire trail system Thursday. There may be some drifting in the open areas as the wind stayed up into the evening. Generally the tracks should be in good condition for the weekend. We must have at least an 8" base by now.

Skied a sizeable loop in the old back yard. Really nice tracks everywhere we went except the swamp loop which was an adventure. But it was clear of trees. A single set of large, fresh wolf tracks preceeded our tracks. Fresh snow in the track and falling now as I type.

Skied a good portion of the trails late morning/early afternoon. All trails had tracks set and the snow was in good condition.

The groomer set a single track on about the east 2/3 of the trail. From intersection 15 south to 21 and everything east and south to the parking lot. Six inch base and a pretty decent track now.

Trails should be clear of all debris. We pulled the Tidd Tech groomers through today packing it 6-7 foot wide. Not quite enough snow to set a good track, but there is a good base. The next 3-4 inch snowfall we should begin setting the track. Few rocks still showing on the NW side of the trail system.

We finished clearing windfall and debris from the early heavy snowfall. All the trails are open, however there is only about a 4" base under the new snow we've gotten this week. Don't bring your best skis.
