Cold sunshine and a perfect track greeted me. I stayed mainly on the classic only trails. I always get lost out there but the improved signage led me back to the warm cabin. The way the hills roll in the cold snow let me stay in the track and glide up the hills. It was a magical day.

Groomed 3-4" of beautiful new snow into all trails - main North End (A, B, C and cutoffs), North End Classic, and Tony Wise. Combed and set new track on everything. All trails excellent. Get out and enjoy.

Main North End trail (A, B, and C) completely regroomed today, everything renovated and new tracks set. Skate lane is excellent. New tracks are just "good" - trails are just too hard and packed to get a good, deep track. North End Classic was also regroomed today, turned out great. 30 cars in the parking lot by noon. Get out and enjoy.

The main loops of the NE were combed out today, tracks not reset. The Tony Wise was also combed and new track set where needed. These trails are in good condition. The Classic Only trail has not been groomed since the melt day and is icy in places.

The North End main trails were combed this morning and the Tony Wise trail was combed and new tracks set. All are in good condition with about an inch of lake effect light snow falling while grooming.

We started at the north end cabin and when we saw that the birkie trail had not been groomed and was icy. We decided to stick to the north end trails which had been groomed and were wonderful! Thank goodness for the North End ski Club!

The North End skate/classic trail was freshly groomed and very good except for numerous pine cones. The classic only had not been groomed yet so was hard and icy. However we ran into more than a dozen people skiing the wrong way, what's up with that?

North End main loops were combed and tracked this morning and are in good condition. The new Tony Wise Trail was not groomed and the tracks are reported to be icy after yesterday's thaw and overnight freeze.

Skied 9.5K on North End main trail and "A" cutoff to Timber Trail Road. All excellent condition.

A couple of the crew got out and set track on all the NE trails today - the main loops, the new Tony Wise and the Classic Only. The skate lanes which were groomed yesterday are setting up nicely.
