The trail was great for skating this morning. A little slow in places from the warm up. No ice, great cover. Thank you groomers! Exceptional job.

Conditions: Good fast firm and recently groomed.
Midnight ski this evening hence couldn't see the trail in detail, but she felt great. Fast, good coverage. Props to the grooming peeps as the trail is in excellent condition given what modest snow you have to work with. Brilliant!

Conditions: Very good, 1 to 2 inches of snow plus a little dusting today was enough to cover the rough spots.
Skiing today was great. Snow felt fast despite the cold. Thanks Charlie for an excellent grooming job.

Conditions: Good for skating.
Just groomed the trail and leveled it out for skating. No classic track set due to lack of depth of fresh snow. Some icy spots and not all the trail was able to be groomed by the pines. At least 6 k had been done.

Conditions: Good, ungroomed.
About 1 to 2 inches of fresh snow falling on Monday evening. The new snow is filling in holes in the trail. Not much for classic tracks, but skating is very doable. Icy patches are getting covered too. Grooming could improve the trail significantly.

Amazingly good considering how little snow we have. A few icy spots and you need to watch for sticks. Great fun!

Conditions: Good to fair, some choppy footprints.
Skate skied tonight, track is uneven but the 1" of snow helped a bit. In some areas the footprints are dangerous! I used my B + skis as the pines are a bit thin.

Conditions: Good to very good.
Trail got 1" of fresh snow this morning, which gave great glide for skating on a hard pack base. Skied after dark in the evening with headlamps. No classic tracks set, though a number of skiers made some usable grooves.

Conditions: Great for skating, very firm base with top 1/2" layer soft from sun exposure.
Very firm base. Fun and fast! Great for skating but keep to the areas that are in full sun. The sun warmed up the top 1/2" and gave it just enough bite for skate skiing. No groomed classic tracks to speak of. Trails in the woods were too icy due to not getting enough sun.

Grooming [
] |
Conditions: Poor, hard packed icy conditions. No plans to groom until we receive more snow.
Temporarily, a one mile loop (@ the 10th tee) and a two mile loop (south of clubhouse) has been groomed at the nearby Petrifying Springs Golf Course. No classical track set. Nice skate deck on rolling terrain.
