A relatively thin, rolled base held up well under today's traffic. The county plowed the asphalt crossings, which I shoveled over. Please double pole across to avoid blowing out the weakly bonded snow. There are many thin spots. In the woods on the east side of the creek, it's mostly wood chips you can roll over. The meadow loop is grabbier dirt, and after tomorrow I'd advise using the 180 cut off before the two-way hill. Great work by groomers Gary and Neal!

Rolled and combed this afternoon. Meadow section is lumpy from uneven ground. Hill unit is better. Upper field is the best. A couple of bare spots, especially in meadow. Should set up pretty well overnight and last for a couple of days at least. But hey, it is natural snow - a rarity this year.
