Rock skis only! Some sections are surprising good but others are pretty bad with debris and rock protrusion due to the very thin base. We rolled and slightly compacted the primary North Trails. Currently those are the only ones we are categorizing as open. Additional trails were rolled but have more issues due to frost heave and rocks. Be prepared to have some damage to your skis no matter what route you take if you choose to ski.

Trails are currently closed due to very base and unsafe conditions. Warm temperatures today exposed more rocks and debris and icy regions of the snow that is on the ground is unsafe.

Trail base is showing increased thinning and some rock protrusions. Conditions have become notably thinner over the last 24 hours. At this point there is really nothing we can control or do to improve conditions with no snow currently predicted in the forecast. We are recommending rock skis if you choose to ski.

Skate lane is thin but skiable. But you have to dodge many areas where the dirt is showing through, especially where the grooming equipment hit "lumps" on the trail. I didn't see good classic tracks, just some skier made ones. The photo gives an idea of the dirt showing.

Trails are in really great shape system wide with good coverage throughout. Still not enough depth to set tracks but overall great conditions given the snow totals. All trails were groomed up either Saturday night or Sunday morning and have set-up really well. Still recommending B skis out of precaution but debris is very minimal at this point.

Base is holding up really well and skate lanes are level and are in very good condition system wide. The team has been shoveling in low spots and with about an inch of new snow this week, the trails are mostly covered system wide. Better trails continue to be our North Trails but the entire system is skiable. No tracks have been set and we will need several more inches of snow before we are able to.

The team was out late Friday afternoon doing the same with the minimal snow we received over the course of the week. Tracks are NOT set, only the skate deck is groomed. There may be some debris sticking through still so please continue to use caution. Grooming plans: Groomer will be out Saturday morning with the Ginzu compacting and leveling the 2-3 inches we received overnight. Expect to see the groomer out on the trails continuing to manage and try to improve ski conditions.

Our patience paid off yesterday as we waited for every last snowflake to fall before rolling the North Trails late Saturday afternoon. The base is very thin but the trails are open for rock skis only. If you want to make first tracks on the South Trails feel free to but they have not have been rolled yet.

Skied just before they closed and agreed that too much was getting uncovered to keep open. New east end trail will be fun with some snow.

Ski trails are closed due to unsafe conditions. Due to sunny skies and increased temperatures we have lost enough of our base as of Thursday afternoon.
