The NE Trail was gone over once after the race and groomers will be out this afternoon/evening to complete the job. There is a track remaining but it is not consistant, sometimes good, sometimes gone. The skate lane has classic tracks in it occassionally that did not get wiped out after the race. Should be better tomorrow.

Nearly perfect. Skied North End/Birkie/old Korte trails...and it was just the best! Tomorrow this area is under race rules. Red Kick wax did just fine.

Skate lane on the main loops was combed this afternoon, tracks are holding up fine but have caught some debris from the winds this morning. The NE Classic trail is also in very good condition. Correction from yesterday, only the second half of the World Cup trail was groomed. NE trails are all open Saturday but will be closed for the race on Sunday. Race grooming will start late Saturday afternoon/evening.

We only skied to the B cut off, but it was very nice except for the leaves and pine needles in the tracks. We used hard wax as the snow had not transformed yet. The skate lane was also very good. The forecast is for above freezing the next few days, below freezing at night, so it will probably get more abrasive. Ski early to avoid wet snow.

World Cup/ Tony Wise trail was groomed today for skate only. The main loops are scheduled to be groomed Friday. All trails are in very nice condition. Reminder the North End Classic race is Sunday so the main trail is for race participants only until after the race.

The main loops and the NE Classic trail were tracked today. The skate lane set up very nicely overnight and the classic tracks are firm and deep. The World Cup/Tony Wise is scheduled to be groomed tomorrow and will be groomed skate only. Reminder: the North End Classic is this Sunday so the main loops are for the race only that day. Conditions are looking excellent.

Thanks to groomer, Dave Tomasula, our Wednesday group had fabulous tracks this morning! The track is shaping up nicely for Sunday's North End Classic!

The trails received about 4" of snow today. Groomers were out as soon as the snow stopped and the main loops are combed but no tracks have been set yet. Grooming will continue tomorrow to set tracks and work on the rest of the system. The conditions should be excellent by Friday and for the NE Classic Race on Sunday.

North End main trail and NE Classic were tracked and they are firm and deep. I classic skied the main loop and thought the skiing was excellent. The Classic trail looked to be just as good but I did not ski it. The main trail and World Cup/Tony Wise were groomed for skate, but there was an equipment issue snd there are some rough spost and grooves in the trails. The main trail will be gone over again tomorrow morning with a different piece of equipment. The skate lanes are firming up well and should only get better with more grooming and the cold weather.

The crew has been busy. All the trails have been rolled. Track will be set this morning on the main loops and the NE classic trail. This afternoon either the main loops will be gone over again or the World Cup/Tony Wise will be groomed for skating - maybe both? Expect the trails to be soft for a day or two.
