Skied every loop except black. There was quite a bit of debris on parts of the green and purple loops, and a couple of bare spot in the tracks, but otherwise conditions were excellent. The best classic conditions I've seen in weeks.

Skied the brown trail three times. Tracks are in very good condition, skate deck also good. The parking lot was full, so the trails will get a workout today. The groomers have done an excellent job, and everything I saw had ample snow cover. It's cold, so conditions should be good tomorrow.

Greg and I re-groomed most of the system Friday night. Some new track was set on the Brown and red trail. There are a couple of open areas starting due to sunburn.

Firsthand: Classic 
[ Trails Open: All, B skis ]
Skied the brown purple and red loops. Good coverage as mentioned earlier but by afternoon, some holes were opening up in the tracks due to the sun. The tracks were deep but soft so they were deteriorating a bit as the day went on. The red loop look like it was lightly skied but also thinner and had a couple open spots that could be navigated around. The classic tracks disappeared for a few stretches on the red loop. All in all, a little slow but pretty good and a beautiful day for skiing.

Full coverage but very soft conditions. Great to be out on real snow. Tracks throughout but occasional thin spots. Uphills on skate lanes were mashed potatoes. I would still recommend getting out even though slow going. Great to be on snow!

Greg and I groomed and tracked most of the system tonight. It's looking in pretty good shape, but in some low snow areas the track isn't great. Should set up nicely tonight and be wonderful for skiing tomorrow.

I went out this morning and groomed our "Improvised" Red to Green to Purple loop. Some sections are very good and a few short thin spots you may choose to dismount and walk through. The Brown and beginner loop are skiing very well! It's not over at Greenbush!

Amazing Greenbush. Brown trail fully groomed, fast and fun. Ventured out on Red to Green to Purple "Fun Loop." Not much fun and I don't recommend it to anyone except very experienced skiers that can deal with ice and looking for an adventure. Looks like it was groomed, but its frozen and hard. Had to double pole across several bare sections, but the trail is connected thanks to shoveling crew. Full Purple not skiable. No tracks at all anywhere. Thanks to everyone that helped make it very skiable with natural snow.

Ran Tiddtech over the brown and beginner loops and a route to the upper parking lot. The red to green to purple was not groomed, but should be skiable during the thaw.

Nordic heaven did not disappoint. Groomers have maintained brown loop in very good condition with no bare spots. Other trails are partially groomed, but marginal snow cover does reveal dirt in some areas. Thank you to all the volunteer groomers. We really appreciate your efforts to be able to ski this winter.
