Miraculous! Somebody must be praying to the ski gods. Trail conditions for Purple outer loop were near perfect. Green loop has a number of bare spots on the hilltops where sun hits, no recommended. As someone who I met on the trail said, best skiing in the midwest! Hope it lasts long enough for the March snow dump we have seen in prior years.

Beautiful trails for skate and classic today! Starting to see some bare spots on the sunny areas. Groomers have been doing an amazing job all weekend, most classic tracks better than Saturday.

Skied parts of the red, green, and purple trails. All freshly groomed and tracked. About 5% of the track is either shallow or "plowed under"; the rest is excellent. Skate deck very good. A few scattered thin spots. The groomers, as per usual, have done a great job.

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.

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!
