Freshly groomed and some track reset, but even the old tracks had a couple inches of powder that easily skied in. Great day of skiing on Ed's, Relentless, Valley, Powderhouse.

The base is rock solid and there is still plenty of snow. There are well set tracks. A 1/2 in of new snow was on top which significantly helped conditions (it was snowing today). There were a couple of short thin patches on the Papa Bear Loop.

Very good classic tracks today with good snow, not icy. Lots of skiers out doing classic and skating.

We used drags this morning on skate lanes and all trails groomed out very good. Surprisingly the track is still in good shape. Get out and enjoy.

The overnight temps were around freezing so groomers didn't go out this morning. I skied Cedar, Tamarack, and Birch and the tracks were good on all of them. A little icy in spots and some oak leaves in spots but overall, a nice outing. It looked like the skating was in good shape too.

I skied Ed's Loop and Mama Bear and the snow coverage was good and deep. The snow is older and a bit dirty from tree debris, however the snow was not slow nor sticky which was a surprise given how wet it has been.

We are suspending grooming for today are more than likely tomorrow because of the warm weather and rain. We feel that this is the best way to preserve the current conditions of our trails. We'll update when grooming resumes.

Merry Christmas to everyone today and when you get done opening your presents come on out enjoy the fantastic conditions. All trails have been tiller groomed and tracked this morning.

Conditions are very good to excellent for both classic and skate. The only demerits are some inconsistencies in the tracks, and the skate deck isn't the fastest - a bit soft I'd say. But, that's really nitpicking. There's full coverage, basically zero debris, and overall it's just about as good as you could want, especially in mid-December.
