Plenty of snow with fresh grooming in the morning. The sweet spot for skating was 8-10 am and then it looked like a lot of no-wax striders enjoying the softening tracks on a sunny day.

We received about 6" of wet snow. Groomers were out and groomed and set track on the Novice Loop, Cliffs trail, Pit Run, 3 Sisters Cut Across and Stairway to Heaven. Tracks look good, skate deck a little soft. Thanks groomers!

Groomers did a great job. Deck is a bit lumpy but not bad. Tracks deep. Good cover. Skied what was open: Novice, headwall, cliffs, pit run, three sisters cutoff, stairway to heaven.

Conditions just short of great. Deep solid tracks, somewhat soft skate deck. Some of the best conditions of the season. Some icy spots, and the skate deck a little uneven in a few places, but there's not a lot of snow to work with. Great to have it.

Observation 
[ Trails Open: Most, B skis ]
Novice, Headwall, Cliffs Trail, Pit Run to 3 Sister cut across up Stairway to heaven were tracked and skate lane groomed Monday after 10" of fresh snow. Parking lot is plowed. There were a good amount of skiers out Thursday stating that trails were surprisingly in good shape. Low overnight temps are keeping conditions in check for great spring skiing. This Easter weekend is a perfect time to visit the trails for a fun, energizing ski.

Afternoon
Firsthand: Classic 
[ Rock skis ]
Cliffs and Wolverine loops were rolled, with a shallow skied in track. Ground is barely covered, but pretty skiable. All in all, pretty good considering we're at the tail end of a snowless winter. Rock skis for sure. Wide enough to skate, but pretty soft, with rocks lurking just beneath the surface of the snow.

Afternoon
Firsthand: Both 
[ Trails Open: Most, Rock skis ]
Beautiful afternoon at Wolverine. Skied most trails including Powderhorn loop, Cliffs, Cliffhanger, and novice loop. Skate deck was firm on novice, Cliffs, and Wolverine loop. Skate deck was soft on Cliffhanger and Powderhorn as it was just groomed. It should firm up with cold temps. Classic tracks are really decent throughout the trails but there are occasional dirty snow patches. There are some rocks lurking underneath as base is shallow so would recommend rock skis unless you really know the trails.

All skate lanes groomed except the pond loop. Would not recommend the south side of Wolverine loop. Everything else is good including Cliffhanger.
