No grooming today after the snow yesterday. Skate deck is currently groomed really narrow, some places being only a few feet wide. Large piles of snow line the sides and around the classic tracks that per the grooming reports have not been reset since last weekend. Disappointing conditions for all the snow we have and short season. Would go elsewhere if traveling for snow.

Called the chalet for conditions- trails were not groomed and will not be groomed until temps drop. Tracks have not been groomed since last weekend, deck was rolled yesterday morning before the inch of fluffy stuff. Tracks have been skied in, but due to the lack of grooming and fair addition of snow in the last week, it may be best to head elsewhere if you're looking to stride.

All of the skate decks were freshly groomed except the big Alps. Warmer temps made for some fast fresh snow. It was truly a magic carpet ride. The tracks were not regroomed, but were skied in by the end of the day.

A disappointing day for classic skiing today. Skate lane groomed but no reset classic track since last weekend after several inches of new snow last night.

Slow skiing, but the ground is well covered! After several inches of snow, most trails were rolled once this morning, though snow has continued to fall and skate deck is soft. Tracks have not been groomed since last snowfall, so classic skiers were breaking trail in the old snow-filled tracks. Some shortcuts were not groomed.

First time in two years having enough snow coverage to have the opportunity to ski the full segment of the Alps at Nine Mile county forest today. First segment had been freshly groomed this morning and second segment had fresh powder ontop of a firm base. Excellent conditions finally!

Skied the lit loop, snow was cold and crunchy. Tracks were solid, clean and fast. Trails have not been groomed since the light snowfall yesterday, but are in good shape overall.

Excellent conditions! We received less than a half inch of snow the night before, so regrooming was not required. All the tracks looked good. A cold day made for some slow snow. Too cold for pictures.

All trails are rolled and tracked. The track has held up very well with the cold weather for the people practicing for the Birkie. Classic has been faster than skate because of the temps.

Went for an evening/night ski and conditions were wonderful with 1-2 inches of fine snow falling for the duration! I couldn't really see how conditions were because it was dark and I didn't have a light, but the trails felt great under ski, particularly the alps which had a nice wide and firm skate deck without any noticeable bumps, divots, or debris. This was my first time skiing at Nine Mile and it's awesome to see how much care the grooming team puts into the trails, thanks for all the hard work!
