With the groomers early report for good skiing today, I made the long drive and enjoyed the nice skiing despite 15F degree cold which made for a little slower skiing. The skate deck was groomed and classic skiers were enjoying the deep tracks.

I groomed the skate deck of the open portion of the snowmaking loop with the Ginzu early this morning. Conditions should be decent considering how cold it is. Probably a little hard and icy under the layer of sugary snow on top. Tracks were left as is and are firm and deep, likely also icy. Grooming plans: The snowmakers made lots of snow over the 24 hours, so stay tuned as that will start being spread early next week.

We had our new trainee groomer Alex out tonight grooming. He tilled the skate deck and it is in great shape. The classic tracks were left as is. They may be drifted over in a few spots but overall should be in good shape. Grooming plans: Snow making is scheduled to start overnight and will continue into Friday. Please give them and the groomers plenty of room to do their work.

We scratched up the skate deck of the open portions of the man made loop early this morning with the ginzu. Conditions should be pretty good today. We left the tracks as is, and they look pretty deep and firm in most places. Grooming plans: There are plans to make some more snow starting late tonight and through tomorrow. Please remember to be cautions and give some space to the snowmaking equipment and the piston bully if they are out pushing the piles.

Tuesday night ski. Early season type conditions; call it fair to good. Zero bare spots. Trails easily survived last few days of warm weather. Thank you snow makers!

The loop at lapham has survived the warm weather again. The Piston Bully was out grooming the man made trails. The skate deck was tilled and is in great shape. New tracks were set and are firm and full depth. Grooming plans: Snowmaking should resume later in the week to add more trail to enjoy.

The man made loops were groomed by the Piston Bully Saturday night. The skate deck was tilled and is in great condition. The classic tracks were left as is and are in good condition. Looking forward we hope to get more trail opened as soon as the weather allows so stay posted.

The snowmakers and groomers have put in a lot of work, and we have a good portion of the man-made loop open. The piston bully was out overnight grooming the skate deck and setting tracks. Skate deck is in good shape and the tracks are firm and deep. The trail is open from the trailhead at the lodge up around Summerstage and back through the middle of the field. As well as up tail end to the bottom of hoot owl hill and then down magic carpet ride to the corner.

The Snow Maker's were busy Thursday night into Friday morning and have made more snow so we have more trails open. Mark and I leveled the snow whales, tilled, groomed, and reset tracks where we could. We have the trails in great ski condition. It should be a great day of skiing today. Come on out, happy skiing!

Great grooming this morning for both striding and skate. I'm using my A- skis. Snowmaking was wrapping up this morning and the PB was out to push out the new piles to connect the summer stage loop. Make sure you give them plenty of room.
