Morning
Firsthand: Both 
[ Trails Open: All, Good skis ]
First time here and impressed. Nothing too steep, great rolling terrain. Wide trails, awesome grooming equipment. There is a ton of pine debris though. The southern area and the classic only trails were more free of debris.

There is logging on the north loop. Otherwise, the trails are in excellent condition. Tracks well set with good snow cover. Very little debris.

Excellent conditions in the afternoon. Well tracked. Little forest litter on trail (for a change).

Grooming 
[ Trails Open: Most, B skis ]
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, Rock skis ]
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, Rock skis ]
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.
