Grooming [ Trails Open: Most, ]
|
Everything was rolled today. Haven't set classic tracks yet. All the trails are open except the pine trail, and a portion of the north loop was rerouted to avoid logging. There are a couple of spots where logging equipment crosses the trail, but it's minor. Grooming plans: We plan to groom again in the morning and may set classic tracks if it continues to snow tonight.

Not bad for classical. Not groomed with tracks, but definitely skiable. Worth it to go if you just can't wait any longer to ski!

Grooming [ Trails Open: Partial, ]
|
The trails were rolled today, but the snow is soft and thin, not really worth skiing on yet. There's logging adjacent to the north loop and ridge trail so they're closed for the time being.

Observation [ Trails: Closed, ]
|
As of noon Tuesday there are 3 inches on the ground. It's too warm to groom today, but hopefully cool enough on Wednesday. Currently there's active logging adjacent to the north loop and ridge trail so only the south loop and west trail will be groomed until the work is completed.
