Groomed up a skate deck on the 2 acre area of the Meadow (short first loop). It set up pretty good but then some folks decided to hike it sometime between then and 5pm, so now there are small ruts. Two inch base in most spots of this short loop.

Overall conditions are very poor. Rock skis are recommended if venturing out. Over the weekend the park received 6-8 inches of very dry snow, our first measurable snowfall of the season. Today staff rolled the Meadow Loop and the Pipeline Loop. Snowfall was thinner the further north we went. Conditions were better in the Meadow but very soft and thin with about a 2 inch base in places. Grooming plans: We won't do anymore trail preparation until we get another big snowfall. It is simply too thin or soft to productively groom at this point.
