The trail skied surprisingly well this morning. It was groomed last night so some melting took place after. There are some patches of dark snow which can grab your skis a little. The park staff stated that this is the last time they will groom this season.

I skate skied the manmade loop at Elm Creek from 9 to 10 this morning. The snow was in great condition, firm and fast but with soft corduroy on top. There were some spots where the snow was starting to get thin, but no bare spots. The grooming was excellent.

We just arrived at Elm Creek for a morning ski at 9:30. The trail and track have been re-groomed overnight.

Was pleasantly surprised on the good conditions at Elm this morning, well groomed and fast! Nice work by the grooming crew! Hopefully we can get a few more days of it.

Great weather, but lousy grooming. It's great that we can still ski with all of the warm weather, but it was basically just a sheet of ice with a corduroy pattern when I skied between 9:30-10:30 am. The groomers spent a lot of time on the downhill runs, and I wish that they had run the machines over the cross country trails to break up the ice. Where the trails intersected, the freshly groomed spots were fantastic. It looks like they groomed at night when the conditions were really slushy only to have that freeze overnight.

Good spring skiing on the snowmaking trail. Started at 10 a.m. and the tracks were getting soft in areas getting more sun but fast in north facing and shady areas. Skate lane was starting to get soft and churned up. Very few leaves. It was definitely a good ski this morning.

Skied classic around 1 pm, caught it between ice and soft, so very good experience, no leaves - hills and corners doable (didn't try north donut). Bridge by chalet - tricky sun and shade! Skate deck looked very soft. No outer trails were open. Thank you groomers.

Skied the Lake Look and Creek Trail. They had just groomed. No track set but ok skating. There are a number of bare spots (see pictures). Skied around them but several were really big. Spots with mud and dirt mixed in too, but usually avoidable. Also skied the man made snow. It was crusty and icy or wind has blown new snow over the trail making for uneven glide in a lot of spots. All and all it's still good late season skiing.

Classic skied the Valley Trail (snowmaking) with skin skis. Very firm tracks. Great conditions. Fast and a little icy.

Skied Elm today and was pleasantly surprised at how good it was. Just stayed in the south donut area - clean snow, good track, some leaves, corn snow on deck, only one thin spot, so just used my regular skiis. Definitely worth it. Thank you groomers.
