All trails have been groomed and tracked after multiple passes with the roller. The trails are currently soft but should improve overnight.

All the trails were rolled today in preparation for any additional snowfall. Some drifting on green and red.

Received two inches of rather wet snow. Groomed the skate deck and it is fair to good with the new snow adhering well to the ice underneath. Set new tracks and the ice underneath came thru in many places so they are poor to fair. Grooming plans: We will get on top of any new snow in coming days.

As the snow softened this afternoon we groomed the skate on all trails except silver. Put in a shallow classic track on green. The green campground loop is grooming up the best. Red groomed up well too. Purple is next best with some ice spots and tree debris under the pines.

I appreciate the groomers doing what they've done with what they've had to work with. Skied the entire trail system starting at 11:20 when it was 34F and crusty. Over the next hour and a half, the surface softened up noticeably and became quite good. Skied the silver trail last (and counterclockwise), which was prudent. I imagine within another hour will be too slushy. I'd expect the same situation tomorrow: recommend skiing over lunch or early afternoon.

The skate deck was regroomed again today with multiple passes. I would say that green and the campground loop are the best. The next best would be red, purple and yellow. The blue one way section heading twords the falls has several all ice sections. Silver has 2 passes but still looks icy in many sections. The brown connector is in good shape for skating. Red has some sections of low spots from the groomer tracks but the berms from yesterday were groomed out. Classic skiing in tracks is not an option currently unless you like solid ice.

Got out there this morning after Dave/Jeff and crew did Yomans work to break up ice and hardpack snow with their grooming equip. Skied Blue, Green and Purple. If you have a sense of humor, a real desire to ski, and some patience the skiing is ok (Skate only... do not try to classic). The best skiing is the green around the campground. It is actually not too bad. Very fast, granular snow pack. The Blue is skiable...but be very careful down the hill when leaving the campground. The purple is ok...just some icy sections you need to double pole through. Wear your rock / B? skis. Nice to get a few laps in prior to birkie. Thanks for the grooming crew getting out there right after the rain. Really appreciated. You guys are awesome.

Most of Willow's trails have been gone over multiple times with the Ginzu teeth down. The Silver Trail has had only one pass and skiing it is not recommended. The best trails are likely to be the Purple and Green, especially through the 300 campground loop. There are lots of scattered icy spots and some areas where ponded water has frozen. Use caution skiing anywhere at Willow! Classic tracks are either icy luge runs or nonexistent.

Groomed a skate deck on red, green, purple and yellow. It softened up pretty well and is skiable only on those trails. No tracks. No bare spots. There a a very few spots with ice coming thru.

Thank you groomers for keeping the trail in shape! Still good skiing today despite the warm temps. I was out about 6pm and the trail had firmed up though could see it had been softer earlier. I skied most of everything. We are fortunate to have a good base, though there are spots it is getting thin.
