Skied this afternoon, did blue, orange and yellow loops. Trails were in surprisingly good condition. Some bare spots in open field and degree under pine trees, but overall decent conditions.

Lovely twilight ski since by late afternoon during the active snowfall a fresh 1/2 inch had covered all twigs and leaves. And not too much to knock me out of the tracks.

Skied Pleasure Valley and the red trail on Saturday afternoon. There was some debris in the tracks, but not too bad. I thought the tracks were in pretty good shape considering that we don't have that much snow. The downhill segments had decent coverage. It's nice to have the indoor, heated bathrooms open again.

Still best of area. Wind has dropped leaves, twigs, and nuts. Few spots with grass and twigs. Rare rock or root that will make you groan. Staff doing good job and hikers are avoiding tracks.

Best yet as cold weather keeps hikers off. Most trails have machine or skier set racks. Sticks and grass rare. Friends shelter is open with mask wearing.

Good, pretty consistent conditions. There was one segment on the downhill by the campground that had some stubble. Other than that, the tracks were pretty solid and well formed. Pretty minimal debris. A couple more inches and it could be excellent. Observing the campground skating lane, it looked pretty firm but a little uneven.

Surprisingly decent conditions. Everything I saw looked packed, and there were some tracks set that were still in good condition with only a bit of debris. However, there are hikers everywhere on the ski trails, some of whom I caught stepping on the tracks. Very frustrating considering they were just set yesterday.

They groomed this morning including setting tracks. My first loop was pre-groom. Second loop was much nicer. Darn hikers messing it up as fast as parks staff gets things right. Just a few areas with grass exposed and a few twigs or nuts. I did not ski pleasure valley.
