Grooming 
[ Trails Open: All, B skis ]
Military, East, and West Trails were freshened up with the roller and comb. With no new snow and rising temperatures, the trail is still in early season conditions. No tracks have been set due to a very shallow base. This is expected to be the last grooming until temperatures drop and snow falls.

Grooming 
[ Trails Open: All, B skis ]
After about 4 inches of fresh snow over the weekend, Anvil has about a 4 inch packed base. The trail was rolled and combed. The base is too shallow for tracks. Hoping the dry powdering snow will set well overnight and make for a nice solid skate deck tomorrow. It is a great time for skate skiing.
