All the trails are still open, but we have closed the gates, so it is a walk-in ski trail now. Let's hope we get hit with something super big in the next month or so. happy skiing!

Got out early to get a nice groom down and great deep track set. Weather is looking wonderful, and forest creatures are starting to move around. Be safe and have fun.

An inch of perfect snow on top of a packed but not tracked trail made for wonderful winter skiing on the short and sweet South Loops up the hill behind the latrine. Blue Extra held on the gentle up hills and great glide going down. Temps in the 20's -- above zero!

I was thrilled to see firm tracks set right out of the parking lot for the new loop. But tracks were hazardous in the twisty turny hilly pine forest section. Then back into hardwood flats where trail was packed but not tracked. Still enjoyable skiing. Encountered groomer with equipment problems not too far from return to parking lot.

Alder Pond is still not tracked.

Out again grooming but was unable to set track. Both the little loop and the big loop are groomed and ready to ski. Looks like some good snow came in for us. Grooming plans: Will be try to get back next week to set track after it sets up.

As the groomer said, trails are groomed but no tracks set. As a classic skier I am not good enough to ski effectively without tracks. I won't do that again anytime soon.

Good afternoon, Alder Pond has been groomed, both the big trail and the smaller one. I didn't set tracks on either of them today but plan on going back so I can pack the new trail and groom later this week. Both trails look great and lots of animal active. Be safe and stay warm.

After the modest overnight snowfall, high winds caused some drifting in the more open areas, but this was a small percentage of trail length. Tracks were a bit shallow in places but there was ample snow coverage everywhere. Didn't go to the South trail and don't know what that is like.

County Groomer Gals were rolling and setting track on main loops beyond parking lot with outhouse. So I broke trail because I wanted to explore the new loop. It was like skiing on eggs trying to avoid the frozen ruts under the fresh snow. First part was beginner friendly until the hills in the pines. It was death defying avoiding the ruts on a steep hill with a turn. But I lived to tell that the end was also beginner friendly. I am eager to go back when it is groomed!
