All trails at Quarry Hill were rolled and combed on Friday. The base was too thin in many areas to set a classic track.

Skied all trails starting at the west lot. Classic track set for less than 50%, but classic was reasonably easy in the afternoon soft deck. One 15-foot place with no snow, otherwise coverage was good. Ice and some standing water present, but less than 10%.

40 F and skate deck was soft and slow, but still very skiable with a full base still covering most trails. With the warm temp, could even get an edge on the iced over areas. It appears that some of the trails were groomed earlier today. The season isn't over quite yet!

We have a skiable trail, thanks to the great work that our groomers did earlier in the week before the thaw and the rain. Coverage is good. There are a few low-lying areas of standing water that can be easily avoided. The snow is soft, wet and slow. There was still a decent classic track over most of the parts of the trail that I skied.

Our groomers have done their usual wonderful job of laying down great tracks for both classic and freestyle skiing. I classic skied today. The classic track was in very good to excellent condition and I suspect it will all be in excellent condition by tomorrow or the next day as it firms up. I stepped into the freestyle track on several occasions. The track was soft when I freestyle skied it yesterday, but it felt much firmer today. Thanks, groomers, for your wonderful contribution to Rochester's XC skiing community!

Quarry Hill groomed for both classic and skate skiing on Thursday evening. All trails groomed except for Parkwood Hill (the north hill). Excellent trail conditions throughout.

We are struggling to groom the trails with glare ice under beautiful new snow. The snow has not bonded to the ice below making our grooming efforts very difficult. Three times we have used a roller to press the new snow into a base that can be skied and that might bond to the ice below and have achieved mixed results. Please be patient, we have already spent many hours trying to make this redeeming late snow into a wonderful skiing experience, but the conditions below are making this project very difficult. We will make classic tracks as soon as possible, but we must first establish a base that allows our grooming equipment to produce classic tracks and a skate deck.

Not bare ground but many stretches of solid ice. Would not recommend skiing at Quarry Hill because of the treacherous conditions.

The skate deck was refreshed this morning. The classic track is essentially nonexistent. The steep loop adjacent to the Payne Shed was closed-off of because of a large bare area. Otherwise no other bare spots on the trails. The trail to the west ball field is "boiler plate" and I couldn't do much to imporve it.

Started the morning with very firm trails, left with them starting to get softer. We still have great coverage. Classic tracks are suffering greatly.
