Joanie and I skied all the loops except for the Blue Trail early Saturday morning. The trails were groomed and tracked Friday morning and showed some wear from heavy use Friday afternoon. The tracks were still in good shape, but the first downhill and the downhill into the campground were getting hard-packed with some stubble showing. The tracks are thin in the pines on Pleasure Valley, so you may have to step around that area. Considering our lower-than-normal snowfall totals this winter, we feel lucky to get to ski here and always enjoy it.

Skied the orange loop (specifically Pleasure Valley Trail) Tuesday evening with temperatures in the low single digits. The conditions were quite good, probably the best of the season (thus far), though there was a bit of debris and pine needles near the end of the loop (after the picnic bench near the top of the hill).

Freshly groomed after the recent snowfalls. Very good conditions which nice tracks and no bare spots. A little slow because of the cold temps, but surprisingly firm considering the fluffiness of the snow.

We skied the orange and red loops Monday around 12pm. The conditions were surprisingly good, with not much in the way of debris and only occasional pieces of grass/sticks sticking out (such as the large downhill of the red loop). Great job groomer(s)! Unfortunately, we encountered an inconsiderate individual during our red loop trip who, after passing and cutting us off, decided to skate completely over the tracks. Someone appeared to have done the same to the orange loop as well, in an even more egregious fashion since they skated over not one but two sets of tracks.

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.
