Groomed Meadow, Pipeline and Red Granite Loops today. Each in good condition, but expect tracks and skate decks to be soft throughout the park. FYI: The Friends of Copper Falls State Park are fundraising to purchase a new grooming snowmobile, replacing our 23 year old machine. Please visit their website for more info.

Good conditions, but we're in a freeze-thaw cycle right now. At 9:45 this morning the trails, which somewhat icy. By 12:30 the skiing was good as the surface had softened up. There's still a ton of snow here!

Groomed Meadow, Pipeline and Red Granite Loops tonight; each in good condition. About 3" of wet snow fell earlier throughout the day. They were firming up well after sunset. Stride-only trails, Vahtera and Takesson, were last tracked last Thursday. Expect a dusting of new snow on all trails in the morning. Grooming plans: Given the warmer conditions this week, next possible grooming might be Friday.

All trails have been groomed and are in excellent condition. Both stride-only trails have deep, firm, steady tracks. Both combi trails have been double tracked for most of the length. Red Granite Falls Loop has been partially tracked where possible, normally only groomed for skate and snowshoe. We were fortunate enough to have Colleen, Tom, and James all out grooming today. Conditions are the most perfect for the season so far. Such a treat! Be sure to get outside and enjoy them. Happy skiing!

Groomed Pipeline and Meadow Loops this morning; turned out much better than expected. Things had been soft over the weekend so we groomed throughout Monday's snowfall and were unsure how it would set. Double track set throughout both trails, in good to excellent condition. Red Granite Falls Loop hasn't been touched, too warm now. Both stride-only trails, Vahtera and Takesson (the riverside trail) were tracked today. Grooming Plans: On Thursday we will groom all combi trails and plan to reset track on the stride-only trails. Have a great time enjoying these spring-like conditions!”

The area received 10 to 12 inches of snow in blizzard like conditions on Thursday. The complete system is rolled and tracked and is in excellent condition. James laid down fine corduroy and track.

Volunteer crew member groomed up Meadow and Pipeline trails -- skate deck combed and set classic tracks. Tomorrow morning it should be nice and fast! These trails would be an excellent pre-Birkie warm-up or post -Birkie cool down. Classic-only trails (Vahterra and Takesson) not groomed but very skiable. We are waiting to see the outcome of this next storm for more grooming updates. Get out and enjoy this beautiful park!

Meadow and Pipeline Loops were last groomed on last Friday. They were in good condition as of today, with an inch or more of new snow falling throughout the day. Conditions so far are still skiable. An attempt was made to groom today but a part failed on our older tracked UTV. We are hopeful to have it repaired Friday morning and back in operation that afternoon. Scheduling: Next possible grooming might be Friday afternoon.

Took longer than normal to groom the combi trails. Skate decks are very firm and tracks were reset a second time today at 4pm. Meadow and Pipeline Loops are in excellent condition for skate; good condition for classic. Classic tracks were difficult to set with how firm the skate deck was; a new track was set a second time but with the snowmobile - deep, smooth, and no ice. Red Granite Falls Loop is in fair to good condition; some foot holes from hikers are still present in two spots. Ran out of time for classic-only trails. Have a great weekend!
