Fair to good conditions for skate during the Goldilocks window between too icy and too slushy. Snow coverage on the groomed trail is still solid, with some icy spots and some very good spots, especially in the shade on the Woods Loop. Very nice ski day.

The skate deck of the of the portion of the man-made loop was groomed this morning with the ginzu. Tracks were left as is and looked to be in decent shape but may be a little icy this morning. We are recommending that skiers go the opposite way than normal. Starting from the lodge, going straight East through that middle path, up tail end and then through the woods and down the normal starting hill past summer stage. There is a map posted at the trailhead showing this route. This will very likely be the last grooming of the season with this warm stretch coming. Thank you to all the snowmakers and groomers who made this a successful ski season at Lapham Peak.

Arrived to find trails not groomed and pure ice. Looks like it turned to slush yesterday and froze last night.

Finished at noon. Variable conditions for skate. Good in the shaded areas, softening in the sunny areas. Getting more slushy by the hour, but a beautiful day of spring skiing. Tracks are holding up, but also softening. Plenty of snow cover on the groomed trail, and not too dirty.

Grooming plans: We will try to groom again tomorrow morning if conditions allow, but this weekend will likely be the last grooming we are able to do.

I skied the training oval. There are bare spots. I saw about 5 other skiers out here tonight but the trail is getting thin. I got in a 10K. Tonight will most likely be my last ski of the 2024/2025 winter unless Mother Nature brings in 2 feet of snow.

Got to the trail around 7am with temp just below freezing. The first hour was the best ski of the year here. Started to soften up a bit and get slower as it warmed up. Deck was perfectly groomed for skating for 80% of loop. Lower half of magic carpet and northern field loop was no go for me and not groomed.
Thanks groomers for using PB creating a perfectly groomed trail.

okay conditions for skate. Surface is a mix of saturated snowcone snow and wet new snow over a soft icy base. Slow going. The firm tracks are improving with the new snow. Skiers are generally doing the reverse route up Tail End and then clockwise, around the Woods Loop. Only the south leg of the Field Loop has been groomed.

This was the best ski of the year! No skiers as of 7 am, deck was perfect and felt like skiing on a cloud. Mark, thank you for grooming last night.

The Piston Bully was out this morning tilling the skate deck. The classic tracks were left in place. This could be the last piston grooming of the season. If conditions allow the park service may be out with the Ginzu groomer this weekend. It's been a season. Talk to you next year.
