Groomers touched up skate decks this morning and report great conditions on the interior trails. We are waiting for more fresh snow to re set the classic tracks. Skate decks are firming up nicely out there! Wolf Tracks to the cabin and back is the best long trail to hit up today. Enjoy!

We skied the Wolf Tracks race course, shortened this year to a 10.3k multi loop thing instead of the "Tour de Park" single lap. Nevertheless, I found conditions to be quite good. There may have been a brown spot here and there, but mostly white space and smooth conditions. While classic skiing, the skate deck looked firm, level, and fast at 28 degrees. Overall, I'd call the terrain rolly with a spot or two of vertical interspersed with flattish sections good for double pole and V2.

We picked up another inch of so of fluffy snow yesterday. Groomers were out touching up skate decks on the interior trails and are reporting great conditions! Classic tracks were not re-set but are skiing great regardless. There's a few thin spots in places but are easily avoided. Tornado Alley, Survivor, Nosedive, Beaver Pond, and Base Loop are in the best condition! Please note that there is a broken down piece of grooming equipment on the beginning of Wolf Tracks. We tried to get a long trail done for today but fate had other plans...

Very good conditions. You will not be disappointed. Most of the tracks looked pretty good. I saw few places with dirt in the tracks but it was easy to avoid. Nut Cracker was in very good condition except for about two spots, which was avoidable..

Trails are looking nice after the 2-3" of snow earlier this week! Groomers have gotten most of that new snowed pressed in and have set new classic tracks and skate decks on all trails including all three long trails. Coverage is really good on most interior trails with a few thin spots here and there on the east side of the park. Conditions are still a little thin in spots on River Run, Wolf Tracks, and Lake Marie. Wolf Tracks is your best bet at a long trail. Grooming plans: Groomers plan on being out again tonight getting things groomed up for the weekend.

Skied the interior trails, found good coverage with deep tracks. Some debris and dirt here and there that was easily avoided. I heard those on the outer trails reported good conditions on good skis with occasional avoidable thin spots.

The skate deck was firm and fast! Most trails are in really good condition. There are a few spots on the hilly trails that you need to take care. The tracks looked really good in most places but had a few really bad spots.

I skied Base to Tornado Alley to Survivor to Yukon to C and D, to Island Hop to Nepco's Cruise for a total of 17 kilometers. I would rate overall conditions as good to very good. There were a few spots with oak leaves in the track and a few more places where the track was shallow with stubble showing through but they were easy to ski around. There was only one spot on C and D where the downhill had uneven grooming with some shallow areas. Otherwise, great conditions considering how little snow the groomers have to work with.

Groomers were out at night touching up skate decks on many of the interior trails. There are some soft spots around, but cold temps should help firm things up. For you classic skiers, Side Kick is now groomed and tracked! Fresh classic tracks were also set on Creek Trail, Red Pine, Lynx, Mellow Meadow, and Steeple Chase! Any thin spots in the classic tracks are easily avoidable. While groomers did go out on River Run Friday night, we are not recommending it at this time due to thin spots in the beginning and end of the trail. We need just a bit more snow for the three long trails. But it's getting close!

The skate deck was really good in most places. Some of the expert trails had some rough spots where most of the snow was blown off of the ridges. Overall most of the trails were really good! Beaver pond was awesome! Yukon had some rough spots. VO2 max and Squirrels tail were skiable - just not with good skis. The tracks looked really good in most places.
