Received about 1/4 inch of fresh snow over the rained on trails and they're actually pretty good, not too shabby. I skied on my A- skis and even over a few tree roots. Only a few bad bare spots mostly whenever the trail curves to left or right. A few slushy areas to ski through and the tracks are still good in most sections too.

North Advanced, Canyon Curves, and West Overlook were in pretty good shape, including the bridges, with just some mashed potato snow and occasional bare spots. East Overlook had a lot of exposed bedrock to dodge, though.

Surface Conditions: Variable with minimal bare spots and debris. Some undulations and icy spots are developing. Last grooming day Tuesday, January 30th. East Overlook, B and B, Pincushion Loop, North Advanced, Morris Maze, Hilfiker and Canyon Curves groomed for skating and classic this morning. Skate deck is well packed but narrow in some areas. Tracks are solid. Freeze/thaw conditions will occur this week so ski with caution.

Skied east and west overlook trails (and another off the west I can't recall) Sunday afternoon. Trails seemed to have plenty of snow. East overlook had some paw prints and another connector trail was not groomed. Loved getting out in the beautiful weather and sunshine.

Stadium, West Overlook, Lower Snowman and Upper Snowman were groomed this morning for classic and skate skiing. Extra classic and skate lanes are set in the stadium for today's Women's Ski Clinic.

Classic skied all the trails at Pincushion this afternoon. There is complete coverage, no stuble or dirt after 1-2 inches of wet snow that was not yet groomed in. Tracks are shallow and my skin skis did not grip in them at all so I skied mostly out of the track up all the hills, but double poled the flats and screamed thru the downhills. Skate deck was solid underneath the new snow but not sure how it glided. Overall, much better conditions that I was expecting in this low snow year.

We are holding off on grooming the 1-2" of snow we received this week to try to preserve skiing as much as possible as temperatures rise in the week ahead. All trails are open and ski conditions are good.

I skied Snowman and Canyon. Tracks were in good shape and I saw no bare spots. I expected the snow to be a lot slower and stickier but for 32F it wasn't too bad.

Skied North Advanced, Hilfiker and Canyon Curves. Tracks were well set and fast after overnight grooming. Deck was firm and even with fast, fresh corduroy. Great conditions considering current base depth. Get out there and hit it hard before the warm up!

Pincushion Loop, North Advanced Loop, Hilfiker Hill, Morris Maze, Canyon Curves and the B and B Loop have been re-groomed for skating and classic styles. West Overlook has its skating lane re-set. Conditions are good to very good, considering the low-snow conditions. Packed base depth: 1-3".
