Trails are in top condition from Thursday grooming. Even though we had some very high winds there are relatively few areas that had some drifting (a bit by 10). What little new snow got deposited on the trails after grooming (<1/4") has by now been skied on, so there is good glide on cold, but soft snow. Should be a perfect weekend.

The trails were all groomed today, both packed and tracked, after a 5-inch snowfall last night. I don't have enough words to describe how amazing the trails are. Check out my pictures, or better yet, come out and experience them yourselves. Fresh new snowfall in the forest is always a visual treat while skiing the trails.

Gary and I skied the hilly section of the western trails for 2 1/2 hrs, we couldn't have been happier with the conditions of the tracks. Gary spotted some lynx tracks as well.

2 to 3 inches of new snow over a nice base made it easy to ski on the trails. Snow was falling the entire time make it a snow globe type day.

Even after Thursday 32 degree temps the trails were in great condition. Grooming occurred Wednesday. For some reason, between posts 1 and 2 the tracks were not set, but all the other trails I skied on were.

Perfect conditions on about 2-3" new snow on a firm base. Was being groomed as I left. Reminder to use the new Jensen Trail entry/parking, since the Flathorn Lake entry trails are still blocked by bridge washouts.

Trails were groomed yesterday, and today was "absolute" perfect skiing conditions. About 2" of new snow, fresh grooming, temperatures in the teens, and the sun was out. We skied to the shelter from 1, and came back 24>23>22>21>14>17>3.
