Skied classic around 1 pm, caught it between ice and soft, so very good experience, no leaves - hills and corners doable (didn't try north donut). Bridge by chalet - tricky sun and shade! Skate deck looked very soft. No outer trails were open. Thank you groomers.

Skied the Lake Look and Creek Trail. They had just groomed. No track set but ok skating. There are a number of bare spots (see pictures). Skied around them but several were really big. Spots with mud and dirt mixed in too, but usually avoidable. Also skied the man made snow. It was crusty and icy or wind has blown new snow over the trail making for uneven glide in a lot of spots. All and all it's still good late season skiing.

Classic skied the Valley Trail (snowmaking) with skin skis. Very firm tracks. Great conditions. Fast and a little icy.

Skied Elm today and was pleasantly surprised at how good it was. Just stayed in the south donut area - clean snow, good track, some leaves, corn snow on deck, only one thin spot, so just used my regular skiis. Definitely worth it. Thank you groomers.

The manmade snow loop has deteriorated significantly each day this week. The biggest drop was probably yesterday to today, with the snow being some mix of mush/ice/corn/sugar. I was surprised how much dirtier it got in just a day - from a few patches yesterday to most of the trail today.

Skied at 10:15 am, very few other skiers. Conditions were corn snow with tracks soft in the open areas and a little icy in the shade. Tracks were nice and deep with some oak leaves. Skin tech skis worked great. Snow is getting dirty, but not bad enough to affect the skiing. This might be my last ski of the season if we don't get an abundant amount of snow in March.

Skied the man-made snow of the Valley Trail. Shallow tracks were present. The snow was slushy but I enjoyed getting out for a ski in 50 degree weather.

Stayed on the snowmaking trails for both skate and classic at first light this morning. Impeccable grooming and conditions all around. While it looks a little rougher on the natural snow- trails, adventurous souls should be sure to use rock skis for that. One of the best condition mornings at Elm Creek, and little to no traffic in the early hours prior to this afternoon's activities. Amazing job and a huge thanks to the groomers!

Man made snow loop was very good, but still hard and cold. Tracks very good and fast, but not icy. A few leaves, but thankfully not on the downhills. Natural areas only packed and some rocks. Thank you groomers!

We went skijoring on the multi-use trail. It was groomed but pretty thin base. Plenty of debris and pavement showing but easy enough to avoid.
