Good conditions for skate this afternoon. Less chopped up than yesterday, except for the climb up Summerstage hill. Fast as you want it to be with a layer of granular snow on a firm base. Classic tracks were fast, but not that firm.

The Piston Bully was out at night grooming our man made trail. The skate deck was tilled and is in good condition. New classic track was set and is in great condition. Grooming will continue as conditions allow.

Conditions this afternoon were good for skate and stride. There was a loose corn snow surface layer on a firm base. Striding tracks were softer than yesterday, but provided good glide. A bit more dirt mixed in with the manmade snow is showing. Still a very nice ski.

I had the Pisten Bully out at night and our partial man-made loop seems to be holding up in this mild early December weather. I tilled the skate deck and reset tracks. Happy skiing.

Very good conditions for skate and stride. Cooler and drier weather and fresh grooming created a loose granular surface on a firm base. Much faster than yesterday, but not icy. Tracks are solid with plenty of glide.

I had to Pisten Bully out at night and re-groomed the skate deck. I also reset tracks on our partial man-made that is open. Happy skiing!

Damp and a little soft on the surface, but a firm base underneath made for nice skate conditions. Tracks are firm but a bit wet, and conditions overall were a bit slower than yesterday, but very skiable. A bit of dirt here and there to watch for. Be sure to clean off the bottoms of your boots as soon as you step on the snow.

If you are looking for excuses to not put in a few K's today, cross trail conditions off the list. Overnight grooming and a good base yielded a good morning of skiing. As of noon, there were only 4-5 skiers out. Even if traffic gets heavy this afternoon, the base should hold up well.

The Piston Bully was out at night grooming. The skate deck was tilled and is in good condition with the snow we have. The classic tracks were reset and are in good condition as well. Enjoy these early season conditions.

Good skating and striding conditions on the 0.9 km snowmaking loop. Firm base with a layer of loose snow. Solid tracks.
