Groomed Meadow Loops and Pipeline West today, both are in fair to good condition. Meadow has a good skate deck and fair tracks. Pipeline West is in good condition for skate, accessible from Ballfield Lot or Red Granite Lot. Both trails are about 1 mile in length. We need more snowfall to open rest of the trails, hoping for later next week.

The park received 4 inches of new snowfall, bringing us to a total of 13 inches so far. This latest snowfall will likely take some time to firm up. Grooming Plan: On Friday we'll roll the Meadow Loops and parts of the Pipeline Loop. More snow is forecasted, so grooming might hold off until Sunday or Monday.

Best conditions were found on Meadow for skate/classic and Pipeline West for skate. Groomed the Meadow Loops and was able to set a shallow track. There is some grass poking through in spots. Combed Pipeline West, although the new trail reroute is still rough, recommendation is to use the old section going through the North Camp; that groomed up nicer. Red Granite is only rolled with waterbars still poking through. A short 1 mile section of Pipeline East was groomed near the Ballfield but it's still a disconnected loop. Not enough snow yet to open up the big hills. Vahtera short was packed only. Given the forecast, this will likely be the only grooming for a week or so.

Rolled the Meadow Loops and Pipeline West today. Not enough snow yet to cover the water bars on Red Granite and Pipeline East. Grooming Plans: Friday we'll comb the skate deck for Meadow and Pipeline West. We'll try to set track on the Meadow. Will post an update Friday after grooming.
