Grooming [ Trails Open: All, ]

Doan Lake trails groomed and new classic tracks set this morning. The snow is super dry from the crazy cold temperatures. The tracks are soft and may set up OK or they may need more snow and warmer temperatures. Plenty of drifts along the east side of the lake. I barreled thru pretty fast so tracks are likely squirrelly. The grooming plan is to finish the Trout Lake trails this afternoon.

Doan Lake Trails rolled, feathered, and classic tracks set. Lots of snow and conditions are soft. I haven't had the groomer out yet so trail is not super flat. Good skiing though. Doan Trailhead parking lot is plowed. Grooming plans: Trout trails maybe later today.

5" of wet heavy snow and near freezing temperatures. Grooming plans: We will wait till the temperatures drop and the snow dries out a little before grooming.

Really good considering snow amounts. Track skied in but rare bare spots. Went to north spur which was great. One hill near Moore lake I needed to walk down but rest was very skiable. Didn't ski Doan trail but looked like bare spots from what we could see.

Rolled and feathered Doan Lake Trails and Trout Trail from Doan Lake intersection to Joyce Estate. 1 1/2" light snow today. This is the third time the trails have been rolled this season. Doan Lake trail is still a little bumpy but solid base and good snow coverage. Very few minor thin spots under big pines. B skis. Trout Trail has exposed gravel on hills along Moore Lake and last uphill before Joyce Estate. Other sections are much better. Rock skis. Need more snow before we can set tracks. Sorry, but I don't have a USFS key yet so I can't get in or out the South or North Trailheads.
