The trails were groomed Tuesday afternoon, a track was not set. Conditions are still good for skate and classic skiing, though with the warmer temperatures and sun, parts of the trail will be thin in places. Keep your fingers crossed for more snow!

Hartford received around 8 inches of fresh snow yesterday. Groomer is currently out packing down the trails.

Ungroomed trails now. Feel debris underneath snow, hopefully groom tomorrow. About 6 in of powdery snow.

Trails were in poor condition with many rocks and sticks poking through making it more of a dance to avoid all than ski. There was one completely bare spot you had to take off skis. One loop and I was done.

Hartford received around 4 inches of snow yesterday. Trails groomed this morning and are in good condition. Snow was to thin in the campground loop to groom, due to the pavement.

Very nice conditions, good skis. Nice grooming for classic and skate. Fast and firm base, little debris. No manmade, all natural.

Conditions were very good today at Pike Lake Unit. There is a decent base and the trails seemed to have been groomed a few days ago. No major bare spots, just a few thin spots, and tree debris in a few places. The skating surface was better overall than the classic tracks. The trails are narrow and uneven, sometimes concave or convex, or slanted, which makes for a challenge to one's balance. Overall, a very enjoyable ski on the brown loop. Very few people, mostly classic skiers.

Trails where groomed late this morning. Track is in decent shape but is thin and nonexistent in a few areas. A few areas of debris.

Wow, the snow set up firm on the upper loops at Pike Lake. The classic tracks were shallow in spots, and surprisingly, a little glazed in others. Overall wonderful conditions, though. Yes, there is some pine debris. It's a small trade-off for skiing so close to those beautiful trees.

Trails where groomed this afternoon. Track was set. Thin in spots underneath heavy foliage but overall in great shape.
