All ski trails were groomed and track reset on Thursday. Tracks are solid and full depth with just occasional debris here and there. Trails are probably in the best condition they have been in years.

All trails were rolled and tracked. Somewhat soft but should set up. Some of best skiing in years.

Trails were well tracked, no bare spots. Skied red, green and yellow loops. Beautiful day to enjoy the dunes. Kudos to the groomer.

About 5-6" of fluffy new snow was rolled, packed, combed and tracked today. Track was set on all trails and they are at full depth with barely any trail debris at the bottoms, even in the low snow areas under dense cedars and hemlocks. However, because of the low moisture snow, the tracks and pole plant areas may be soft, even after setting up overnight.

The entire trail system was packed twice this morning with the Ginzu except the Red Trail, which only received one pass. The base is starting to firm up nicely. Approximately 40% of the trail was tracked with mixed results. In areas where snow cover is thin, dirt and debris is exposed in parts of the track.

At night the entire trail system was rolled. No tracks were set. With the new snow added to what was rolled last Monday the base appears to be compressed to about 4 inches. Thinner below some of the areas with a dense tree canopy. Grooming plans: The trails will be packed again Sunday morning and assessed as to whether a track can be set.

3-4" new snow rolled on Monday then Ginzu packed this afternoon. Moisture content relatively dry so soft 2" base in many areas but much thinner under large cedar, hemlock or white pine trees. Not tracked but skiable in many areas. Thanks to Joe Polacheck for rolling.

4-5 inches of snow were rolled to a 2 inch depth. The trail should firm up. No tracks were set. Be careful with good skis especially on the red trail.
