Grooming operations at Bally Creek Ski Trails has ceased for the season. Thank you all for a great winter!

Re-groomed all of Bally Creek Ski Trail system with exception of the NE Loops (AA, Z, Y, X). A small portion of the Bally Creek Road is icy and was difficult to set tracks. Otherwise, most of the trail system is in good condition. Enjoy it while you can!

Received 3" of heavy, wet, snow. Groomed and tracked the connector trail to Cascade State Park. Due to recent warming, this trail is in decent condition but has locations with vegetation sticking out. Groomed and tracked big Loop of the system A, E, F, H, J back to Parking area. Grooming plans: Will reassess early next week on future grooming due to warming conditions.

All loops at Bally Creek have been groomed, except for the Cascade connector trail. We packed and rolled the connector Tuesday. There is a firm deck and tracks set very well. Almost all loops are clear of brush, but there are a few spurs that have some sticking up. If you stay on the main course, any skis will do. Grooming plans: Grooming will commence in the coming weeks.

All loops at Bally Creek have been groomed, except for the Cascade connector trail. The two big snowstorms last week help build a great base on all loops. The Cascade connector is coming together, and we are working diligently on building a solid base. Stay tuned for updates on our first tracks out there. Almost all loops are clear of brush, but there are a few spurs that have some sticking up. If you stay on the main course, any skis will do. The NE loops are getting better all the time.

All loops have been groomed in the main portion of trails. There are no groomed tracks past J on the Bally Creek Road. The Northeastern loops (W, AA, Z, Y, X) have been rolled and packed and we hope to track them and the Bally Creek Road north of J early next week. Note: L to K is also not groomed and due to significant uneven ground may not be groomed this year.

Most loops have been groomed, but due to equipment malfunctions, we did not groom T-V, the NE loops or the Cascade Connector still. Grooming plans: We hope to be back Thursday and Friday to finish up.

All loops at Bally Creek have been groomed, including the NE loops. But the Cascade connector has still not been groomed. Most loops are clear of brush, but there are a few parts of the trail that have some brush sticking out. B skis are recommended it you plan on going off the main portion of the trail. The NE loops are getting better every time we groom. We rolled the Cascade connector for the first time this week as well, so stay tuned for updates.

The entire trail system was in great shape. There's some brush sticking up through the trails. Everything was groomed Wednesday. They even rolled the connector down to Pike Lake Rd!

Skied all the trails and loop on Sunday. Trails were skier groomed through 4-6 inches of fresh snow since last grooming. Underlying deck was good and firm, kicking on blue wax excellent. No pole plant plunging. Great day.
