All loops were cut and tracked. We could use some new snow to freshen up the trail, but conditions are still very good.

Today was the best snow of the season. Very fast gliding forever and good grip on the uphills. No pictures will be able to convey the beauty of today. I skied the green loop, but I expect the blue loop to be the same.

Ski conditions were beautiful! Perfectly groomed, full coverage everywhere on trail and no icy spots whatsoever. Someone left a set of ski poles in parking out, which we turned in at the office.

Firsthand: Classic 
[ Trails Open: All, Good skis ]
I skied the yellow loop this afternoon. About 2" of new wet heavy snow and about 31 degrees. I didn't expect to have great conditions. So I took my backcountry waxless skis and rubbed paraffin canning wax over the entire surface of the skis, including the waxless pattern. Well I was pleasantly surprised, I had great glide and kick, with no snow sticking to the skis whatsoever. The snow was beautiful with no tree litter on the trail other than a couple small branches. Other than having to use a little extra effort to steer my skis on the downhill curves, it turned out to be a great ski!

1-2" of snow fell on Tuesday. Wednesday's forecast calls for temperatures around freezing and additional snow, rain, and/or freezing rain. We will be holding off on doing any grooming until Thursday.

A friend, Dan W., reports: The trails were well-groomed however they were very icy and fast. So beware! This is classic only. He suggests, if you want to skate ski find some nice wide ski trails for safety.

Thursday's warm weather has left the trail very icy. With current conditions we are unable to groom the trail at this time and we do not anticipate being able to groom in the next few days.

Observation

Skied for around 5 minutes and gave up. My skin skis had no kick on the glazed tracks. Perhaps I should have used Klister skis.
