JC rolled in another 4" of LES this morning with several more inches falling throughout the day. Excellent classic conditions and skate deck firmed up after yesterday's groom with the heavier tractor. Temps never got above 32F at the trails.

Gorgeous winter day and terrific skiing at VS today! The compacted snow base is 18" throughout the network with 18-24" banks. A striders Heaven. The tracks on the western trails set up better than those on east, but every meter is skiable. Really a special place with a super friendly volunteer base, and a ton of snow! Carpe Skiem!

Cold, sunny day at Valley Spur with the best trail conditions around! Great tracks with fast glide. I used the skate lane on some downhills and found it to be firm. The system had been groomed earlier in the day. Sorry I did not stop to take any photos today. You would be hard pressed to find better conditions than VS.

Warm conditions yesterday, Sunday with fresh snow falling all day. More snow overnight and temps finally down into the 20's continuing to drop all day long into the teens. John C was out early and groomed in 5" fresh snow with big roller and deep trac setter. Classic was excellent. More Birkie skiers adding quality K's to their training log.

Tons of snow. All trails were groomed and good conditions all around. A bit soft with the new snow. Classic was better. The tractor just arrived as we were heading out.

Incredible conditions. Grooming was perfect. This place is a gem. All trails well marked. Couldn't ask for a better location to ski.

Mother Nature dropped about 4" of LES last night, so John C was out early and groomed the whole system. Classic tracks were very good. Scenery was fantastic. A great group of skiers out today enjoying classic and skating. Skiers training for the Birkie were adding some quality kilometers on our G and Z trails(challenging hills). Our non-profit ski club appreciates all who showed up as out of area skiers allow us to operate, this system could not operate without you.

With about an inch of fresh snow overnight, classic tracks were very good. Great scenery with the fresh snow on the trees. Snowshoe trails are in great shape. Lodge open every day from 10am-4pm.

We skied trails B, H, I and D. The trail conditions were perfect for both classic and skate skiing today, with a firm fast deck and deep, well set tracks. The glide was amazing!
