Very nice ski at Greenbush today. The trails are a bit soft but pretty clear of any debris. Just a small stick here and there. The classic track looked good. The groomer was out while I was skiing. They have done a tremendous job. I would like to say hats off to them but it was too cold to take my hat off today.

Grooming 
[ Trails Open: All, Good skis ]
Our trails suffered some vandalism overnight. A snowmobiler tore up about a 1 mile section from the upper parking lot to the south. I was able to repair it at noon, we're sorry for any early morning skiing inconvenience. The rest of the system is skiing nicely!

Grooming

Widened, leveled, smoothed and set track on all loops (including the classic only Black trail) today. We focused on widening the entire system, the edges are somewhat soft yet but we are gaining a lot of ground. Mother Nature hit us pretty hard with last week's storm, but this grooming team rose to the challenge. We are very close to having the excellent ski conditions that Greenbush is known for! On a side note, our single track bike trails are now groomed for fat tire biking, Come on out and enjoy!

Grooming 
[ Trails Open: All, Good skis ]
We were finally able to tame the storm. All trails except black have been groomed with tracks set. Black has been rolled but needs to setup before setting tracks. The groomed surface is still inconsistent in density and has some unevenness in areas. The majority of debris has been cleared.

Greenbush never disappoints. Red and brown trails are tracked and in great condition. Skate deck is firming up a bit. The rest are being worked on. Lots of snow to move and groom. Thank you to the amazing groomers!

Drove an hour and a half to ski after reading a report that classic trails would be set. Unfortunately there were no tracks to speak of, which was understandable after seeing the base and yellow spots from bottom melting. On a positive note, skaters seemed to be enjoying the conditions and the forest was absolutely beautiful.

Beautiful flocked trees at Greenbush today as I skied the green and red trails. Both trails had been groomed today. They were soft with a few ruts. There were a few sticks. It was great to be out.

Grooming 
[ Trails Open: Most, B skis ]
We received about 7-9 inches of moist heavy snow on Tuesday with high winds. Groomers were able to clear debris and double roll everything except the Black trail. Surfaces are soft but non-uniform. We received another 1-2 inches overnight. The high winds and heavy snow deposited a lot of sticks on trail. If everybody would pole flick a few off to the side, it would certainly be a huge benefit and greatly appreciated. Grooming plans: We are planning to smooth the skate deck and set track this morning.

Morning skied the brown trail three times. It had been rolled, so it was a bit spongy. About 6" snow. When I left at noon, a groomer was heading out. Thank you, groomers.
