Conditions: Firm and fast in the morning. Wet and fast late.
The Stump Farm Classic was held today. Marginal tracks but fast snow made for a lot of fun in the sun. Racing late under the lights drew big crowds and huge smiles.

Conditions: Surprisingly nice, full coverage.
Arrived at 6 pm, 36 degrees F. Trail had a half inch of icy, granular slush on top of a firm base. Skated quite fast and fun. Similar to the Birkie trail in the woods last Saturday. Classic tracks looked good as well.

Conditions: Good to very good! Titanium base holding up: clean, fast, covered! Skated the night trail, surprisingly fantastic. Classic tracks were holding. Pines Trail looked freshly groomed.
Don't miss out, worth the trip! For those of you who know the lighted trail, I was able to glide from the top of the largest hill all the way to the intersection. Super fun. 35 degrees under clear skies and moderate winds.

Conditions: Trail was hard packed and fast but not icy. Back end of where Maples and Birches intersect the trail looked like it was rolled in just that little section.
Finishing with the lights on was really neat. Love the new addition. Looking forward to some warmer nights coming up to ski under the lights.

Conditions: Good, super fast and a little dirty from wind debris. Skate deck is titanium solid. Classic tracks look well cut.
Late afternoon skate in 11 degree temps with blue skies and a setting sun filtering thru the trees. A beauty. With a fresh groom on Sunday morning, Valentine's Day skiers are going to have a great time at the Reforestation Camp!

Conditions: Very fast and fun.
Skating was great Wednesday afternoon on the green loop. Classic tracks looked to be in good condition too.

Conditions: Very good! Night skiing on a solid, level base with a fresh 1 inch of dry snow layered on top. Fast and fun in 14 degrees.
The "Camp" looks to be fantastic shape. Skate deck solid and level. Classic tracks well defined.

Conditions: Overall good. Skate deck is variable: perfect in some spots, a little rutty in others, wind debris in the usual areas. Classic tracks looked well set throughout.
Early day ski in 36 degrees under blue skies. Plenty of snow, full coverage... trail had not been freshly groomed. Plenty of cars in the parking lot when we left. Carpe Skiem!

(Bob Warpinski)

Conditions: Full coverage with minimal to no debris. Skied in the early morning. Birches not fully groomed yet but tracks were set. Maples fully groom.
Conditions were great. Solid base. Slightly soft on pole plant in a few areas. Beautiful day with the sun shining as I ended. Snow was fast and near perfect. Should have kept going!

Conditions: Very good firm and fast.
Conditions are excellent at the camp. I skated two maples this afternoon. I was surprised at how firm it was so soon after the snowfall. The snow groomed up well due to the high moisture content. The groomers have done a super job this year. Probably best conditions of the year this weekend.
