Roll packed 3" of fresh snow from Sunday night and Monday morning today on some of our trail system. Our average base is 1" with grasses sticking out of trail surface here and there. No track sets at this time. Current temp is 19*F above with cloudy sky. Fresh snow still hanging on trees along the way. Got out the roll packers today and packed the 6K loop of black bear, brush cat and deer view. Then we made an alternate route out to flats of Eagles Run which will take you to Rabbits Trail, Hawks Trail and a return on either Ridge Run (hills) or Deer View (flat). Skating over trails packed today is possible with your B skis. Happy Thanksgiving.

Temp L21 H28, cloudy and no wind in the woods. I took out my rock skis but mostly I ran/hiked 1/2 of the Rainbow Resort trails (23km) mid-morning. Some spots are good for rock skis, but I'll wait for more snow to ski yet. Grounds are very solid. But grounds need a very good base for grooming and setting nice tracks.

26* f above; cloudy skies; light snow showers; up to 2" accumulation of new snow covering trails. We just went out to check some trails to see what was happening. Found the new white snow covering the trails a very welcome sight. With the rain we had yesterday we do have a few puddles here and there but overall very nice. With colder temps in the forecast it will really help freeze up the ground.
