Skied the green loop and beginner trail including new prairie section, and a the small loop of Blue (nearest parking) in the evening. This is all natural snow, nothing manufactured. Trails are very chopped up, but there is still a decent pack down from 10 days ago and the powder dusting overnight made it fast. No track laid. Careful of rocks showing through along the green. Lights pop on about 5:15pm. Plenty of fun and beautiful as ever in the woods.

Groomed entire trail without track. Bare minimum snow but will be ok for rock skis. Sooo nice to have a little snow. It's been a long wait. As we finished, skiers and snowshoe hikers were enjoying the trails.

About 2.5-3" standing with some ski tracks. I'm sure there are drift areas with more. I left; I only have the one set of skis and don't want to risk damage. Please do some snow dances, voodoo or pray whatever to get us some snow.
