-4° but sunny and no wind. With face mask I was nice and warm. Wonderful morning for a ski. The track is in great shape on Blue and Red Loop, pretty fast glide.

4" of snow on Wednesday, rollers yesterday, Ginzu groomers today in a pleasant 15 degrees. We tracked and groomed all the Tilson trails. Please let the skate lane set up, and it should be perfect!

4" of new snow, cold temperatures. Yesterday we used both rollers, this morning we set tracks and groomed all the Tilson Creek trails. After our trail work last week clipping sticks where we couldn't mow the trails look great! Tracks are clean, skate deck level.

13° and 1.5-2" of fresh fluff ongoing. Some skiers skied the track in on green and orange loops. I skied in blue shelter loop tracks where I could see them. Some were completely covered level. It was easy to break trail in new light snow.

Thanks to Burgess and groomers for rolling and resetting track yesterday. I skied outer Blue Loop and Red Loop with connectors in between. Track was fast and in good shape everywhere. A few small 2" flat rock spots on Blue. Stubble picture is from Blue that groomers mentioned.

Beautiful day - sunny and about 25 F above! (Finally) We got about 3" of snow and so we ran both Ginzus over all trail sections, setting new tracks as we went. Everything looks good except for a section on the main Blue where our inability to mow has left sticks. If you ski down the "improved" big blue hill please be careful!

I skied in about half inch of fluff. Track was firm so worked good. I did Blue Shelter loop. Good coverage on all sections but some short stubble spots. All pictures from Blue.

Close to 4" of nice new snow. It was cold! Maybe 8 above, but the tracks look good and should set up. Skate deck looks super. We ran both Ginzus over everything including all of the Blue. There are a few sticks on the east end of the Blue where we couldn't mow. Everything else is good.

Today we ran both Ginzus on all sections of Tilson Creek with the exception of the "improved Split Rock" hill on the main Blue - that's has enough saplings sticking up that we felt it would be too dangerous to open. The track looked fine almost everywhere, and corduroy was super. It's soft now but should eventually set up.
