Skied the man-made areas that were open. Unsurprisingly given the freezing rain/sleet we had overnight and into today, the corduroy was icy and hard when I went out this evening. Areas where this had been churned up by others were much more pleasant. No problem areas, just be ready for your skis to clatter and skid when you go off the well traveled line, Very few people out enjoying the trails. The loop is approximately 1.5km, but it looks like they've got plenty of snow higher up the trail.

~18F sunny calm-ish. Excellent conditions! For machine made snow the conditions are terrific formatting. All the corners are skiable. The groomed trail hasn't progressed since last weekend so the carnage corner is the furthest you can go. The tracks are super shallow, almost not even there. Hoping more tracks can be set soon!

Temp ~ 5F. Clear skies, windy. The tracks were variable, from shallow to deep and solid to covered over from the snow guns. Carnage corner and the other downhill corners were in really good shape after a heavy use weekend. The groomers did a good job. Just too bad the tracks were so shallow in places.

The 500M loop above and below the DWP was opened mid day for a total of 1.5KM of manmade skiing. Felt like Spring skiing. Very nice.

Posted on the Mountain Message website that the Nordic and Alpine will be open Friday Dec 6th, Sat 7th, Sun 8th 10-5. Spirit Mountain Grand Avenue opened Thursday, at least one high school team was there for practice. Skating for sure is available. At the time, only the "Sprint Loop" was open (<1 km).

Trails are closed, but they've laid down and leveled an impressive amount of snow!
