Another fast day at Hyland. Groomed but short. Quite a few skiers with AirPods. One way to beat the boredom.

At 10:20 am start, it was around 30 degrees with a surprisingly cold north wind as you rounded the corner to the shack, sunny, a fair crowd and Star's trail conditions were very good. Some dirty snow on the portion next to the trailhead parking lot easy to ski around and some sugar build-up on the NW climb. At least when I was there the climb on the longer west east trail that I only did twice in the course of my 6 laps was fast. It was my fastest pace of the year. Thanks Three Rivers and groomers.

I got out to Hyland at 10:00 am, and the classic tracks were already a little slushy. I had a decent glide, and a good kick with my no wax skis. The Star Loop is still holding up well. It sounds like Hyland will groom through the weekend. I saw only three classic skiers and no skaters this morning.

At my 9:30 am start, it was partly sunny, 51 degrees according to the trailhead thermometer - I think it was actually high 40's - and the Star loop was in fair to good condition. It was primarily soft, wet corn and getting ruttted in spots. However, due to the soft snow the ruts weren't really an issue. But the climbs were definitely more work I only did the longer west-east hill once over the course of 5 laps.

Star Loop was in excellent condition this morning at 8:45. It was my fastest skate of the year but obviously without the Scenic or Boulder climbs. Thanks Three Rivers and groomers for keeping Hyland open for us diehards.

Got there a little late since the temps went from 30 at daybreak to 45 at 10am. Just the Star loop, so kind of a tread mill experience. Overall worthwhile since our season was so short. Most of trail has a good 18" base.

The Star Loop was excellent at 9:15-10:15 am. Classic skins were great. Fastest ski of the season. Fun to circle quickly and see friends in the gorgeous weather.

Great grooming and good conditions on the Star Loop this morning. Thanks to Three Rivers and the groomers for skiing us into March!

Only the Star loop was open but the snow is holding on pretty good. Good firm base that was getting sugary later on! I did try the ungroomed section and it was wonderful if you would like to break a hip!

Down to just Star Loop, but it was in nice shape! The groomers had pulled snow from a couple spots to provide a clean surface on basically all of Star. In the cloudy conditions it was holding up well, getting crunchy as things warmed up instead of slushy. I can't imagine there's much left of our season now, get there while you can! Thanks groomers!
