All ski, snowshoe and fat bike trails were groomed today. Picked up about 3-4" over the last couple days and the new snow on top of the firm base made for excellent conditions.

Picked up about an inch of snow overnight and groomed all bike, snowshoe and ski trails today. The inch made a big difference in smoothing out the ski trail and setting a nice deep track - ski trails are back to great shape. Talked to a couple of fat bikers after grooming and the report is the bike trail is also in great shape with just a couple soft spots but otherwise a firm base and great traction.

Groomed all the ski trails today - the skate lane came out great and skied really well for tonight's Pick Your Passion event, the track came out so-so and not sure I made it better or worse.

Some rutting from previous skiers, but a good base for skating. Used tracks on downhills because it was less work than skating. Definitely worth it.

Skated the 10k loop this morning (in the rain) and conditions are still quite good. Base is still firm with just the top inch or so softening. Pole plants were mostly solid with just a few times were I punched through. Ran into some classic skiers that were happy with the track. Bad news is that with continuing rain today and warm days and nights, conditions will continue to deteriorate. Watch out for slick conditions in the parking lot.

Scratched up all the skate lanes this morning grinding up the overnight glaze. According to the lone skier I saw today, skate conditions were excellent after grooming. Will check the trails in the morning and if they're glazed, we'll scratch them up again. Track looked icy in spots but let it be. According to the lone fat biker I saw today, bike trail was getting pretty soft.

Picked the fat bike groomer up from the shop this afternoon and groomed all the bike trails except Red Trail and High Five (that's 8.9 miles of fast, flowy, purpose-built single-track open for fat biking). The grooming came out good and should set up well overnight - unfortunately there is rain and winter mix forecast for the next couple days.

Groomed all the snowshoe trails and most of the ski trails this morning. What got groomed came out nice but wanted to get off the trail before it got too soft and started balling up. This is likely the last grooming until mid next week due based on forecasts.

Polished up the skate lane today after heavy weekend traffic. 30F, sunny and excellent conditions. Suppose to get a bit of snow overnight and plan on regrooming all trails tomorrow.

Ski trails regroomed and tracked today. Got a chance to ski the 10k loop this evening after grooming and conditions are excellent. With sun and mild temperatures it's going to be a great weekend to be outdoors. Sorry, fat bike groomer in the shop so bike trail has not been groomed since Monday.
