Finally caught up with the 10-12" of snow we received over the last 48 hours. All ski and snowshoe trails are groomed. Trails were still a little soft this evening but should set up well overnight.

Grooming 
[ Trails Open: All, Good skis ]
Groomed all the fat bike trails today and opened up a trail I've never been able to groom in the past - Jump Line. The bike trails that have been groomed all season are in great shape and a blast to ride. The new stuff I'm opening up is a little soft and will take a few more groomings before they set up.

Grooming Scheduling 
[ Trails Open: All, Good skis ]
All ski, snowshoe and bike trails were groomed today and were in great shape. We've been getting steady snow all evening that will continue into tomorrow affecting trail conditions. Due to the fatbike demo tomorrow, ski trails won't be regroomed until Saturday afternoon. Also, if you're coming to WinMan to ski or snowshoe tomorrow and don't plan on participating in the fat bike demo, please use the Papoose Lake Road parking lot (.3 miles east of W).

Regroomed the skate lanes on most trails and that greatly improved conditions. The trail is still fast but not scary fast.

Afternoon
Firsthand: Freestyle 
[ Trails Open: All, B skis ]
Groomed with good coverage but icy! Skate deck looked great but it was hard to get purchase because of how tough the surface was. Classic tracks actually looked pretty good, they were a bit softer than than the skate deck. Recommend B skis due to debris and ice.

Morning
Grooming 
[ Trails Open: All, Good skis ]
Groomed and cleaned up the rest of the ski trails today - lots of debris and downed trees in the hardwoods, not too bad in the soft woods. Went for a ski this afternoon and conditions are pretty marginal - what was groomed last night froze back up and was difficult edging and what was groomed this morning was not much better. May try grooming tomorrow to try breaking it up again but conditions won't drastically improve until we get more snow - which may be as soon as Thursday.
