Went out this morning to check snow conditions. Cold enough this morning to keep the snow firmly frozen for walking on but as the temps rise the surface will quickly become punchy. Did a test patch with the groomer in hopes of creating something skiable but didn't produce good results, chunky/washout like. Expect icy hard or icy slushy conditions.

The temps have been consistently above freezing therefore the snow on the trails has been melty and icy. Some people are still giving it a try out there. I'm still holding out for more snow!

The base is thin but took a track. All of Teuton has track and corduroy. And all of Valkyrie has been run with the drag. Hoping we get snow!

It was a beautiful day in the woods! Worked on Teuton, A and B are groomed for skate and classic. Skiers say it was fast! C loop has been run with the drag.

Hey Hey! The sleds, roller, and drag are operational! Got out there last Thursday and yesterday to pack down the trails. Only a couple inches of base so definitely rock ski conditions. Fun to see a few folks out there giving it a go. I'm excited and thinking snowy thoughts!

Was skeptical of snow cover so I hiked Loop A on Valkyrie side. Ample 6 inches, very skiable! Not groomed but a few skiers tracked it. Shoulda brought skis!

We finally received some snow that seems to be sticking around at Valhalla. We are working out some early season equipment hiccups but hope to get out and roll this week. It's currently frozen-misting but hopefully this doesn't last too long. We'll update if/when we get out there.
