The lighted loop was surprisingly good. The new snow helped. The tracks were shallow. I don't about the rest of the trail system.

The lighted loop has fast skate conditions with reasonable control. No corduroy on the skate deck. The tracks were shallow and a tad bit icy. It was a fun ski tonight, thanks to the groomers.

Ski trails were surprisingly good this afternoon considering only 1/2 " to 1 " of new snow had reportedly been received recently. Skied the lighted loop, Leo's loop and the 6 k loop and found trails skiable and safe. Debris was not an issue and didn't see any bare spots. However, trail conditions board in the chalet advising trail base is only 1 1/2 " and trails will diminish quickly without new snow soon. The classic tracks looked minimal. Groomers accomplished some very good work I think.

Nine miles received 1 to 1/2 in of new snow this last week. Lighted loop (approx 6 k total) was good conditions, smooth, very skiable, good coverage. Most of the debris has been groomed out or covered by new snow. Outside of the Lighted loop trails are pretty uneven/debris evident. Overall it was skiable, especially on lighted loop. Bring B skis.

Looked unsafe to me. No new grooming leaving ice and uneven trails. Saw classic tracks only on some trails. Skate deck looked rutted.

Trails are partially open but I don't recommend skiing until trails can be groomed with new snow. Personally did not feel safe due to icy conditions and the amount of debris on the trails. Did ski Leo's loop for the first time this year and seeing all the work that the volunteers have accomplished making progress allowing for segments to open is really impressive. Thank you! Now We need help from mother nature. I hope to get out and help with trail work on my next trip out to nine mile.

Grooming [ Trails Open: Partial, ]
|
Crews cleared trail C (Leo's Loop) yesterday and that segment is now open in addition the 6k and lighted loop. The balance of the 10k is cleared but remains closed as we are unable to groom with current temperatures. The balance of the 10k will be groomed Saturday morning and open for use at that time.

Most of the trails are still closed. The lighted loop Y and b1 were good. T was open but rutted up. Sometimes it was easier to double pole in the track rather than ski on the rutted up skate deck. Much of the trail was groomed after 10 AM when it was 30 F which gave predictable results.

Grooming [ Trails Open: Most, ]
|
We continue to open trails. The crews cleared Leo's loop today and got most of debris off the rest of the system so it is looking much better. Grooming plans: Tomorrow we will be working on the west side of the 10k. All of the easy trails and lit trails are now open and very skiable. We have awesome volunteers.
