The classic track is in great shape at Willow. Despite sub-freezing temps, the tracks creaked a little and got a little soft in the open sun areas. Overall, however, the tracks were in great shape--firm, with little debris and no bare spots. No worries at all about good skis. Looks like it should hold for a few more days!

This morning we regroomed the skate deck on all the trails and reset classic track on all the trails except silver. Conditions are excellent.

Skied Red, Blue and Green. Wow..like mid winter conditions. Real untransformed snow...a gift. Trails were a bit soft due to new snow, and snow after grooming yesterday but so much fun. No ice. Everytime I ski I am extremely grateful to the all volunteer grooming crew..working late into the season. Get out there! BTW the classic track looked very nice.

Trails had been groomed earlier and another inch of fresh snow had fallen earlier in the day, so skate deck wasn't ideal. Classic tracks were excellent though if a bit sticky in places with the temperature at 32F. Skied Purple trail and the loop across the river. Nice to still get out.

All the trails are groomed for skate and classic. Midwinter conditions with no ice. Skiing should be great.

Varied conditions, it's March. As promised the groomers got the silver trail (Nelson Farm) done and it was really nice. Somewhat soft and slow due to the new snow, but very consistent and easy to ski which is not always the case in the hills. Multi-use trails that I was on were hard pack, ice and no amount of grooming will help that. The lower trails on the south side of the river (green, purple) were spotty with icy sections. Yellow and Red were in good shape but had some sections with snow chunks in the middle of the trail from the last grooming attempt. Brown appeared to have been groomed but the "rollercoaster" section back down to the bottom was very hard, very fast, icy with some ruts from the snowmobile and skis. No significant debris on any of the trails. Thanks to the groomers for keeping the trails in such good shape, nice to be skiing in mid-March.

Still pretty decent skiing. Purple loop looked good. Nice bit of glaze on the tracks but with a slightly soft base. Very little debris. A lot of double poling with glide in tracks. Enjoyed it!

All trails except Silver were groomed this morning for skate and classic. The new snow became too wet to continue grooming. Grooming plans: Silver may be groomed tonight or tomorrow morning.

Skated most of the trails on the south side of the river. Trails were icy after yesterday's warmth. Some ski rutting from yesterday and the classic tracks were very icy.

Went out late in the afternoon and out in the open the tracks were icy, in the woods thought the snow was still soft and skiable. Some shallow spots, overall depth of base was still good. Thanks to the groomers for helping make the season a bit longer.
