Blue Mound SP

Echoing the previous skier’s report, mild daytime temperatures have actually contributed to better skiing conditions for trails on the north/east side of the mound. Coverage there is still essentially 100% and not thin, save for a large rock that apparently tracks were set over on the edge of the trail. Skiing around it is trivial. Softer snow has made it easy to control your descent, and skiing over postholes isn’t as bumpy of a ride as it previously was. However, there are now bare spots on the Pleasure Valley Trail (orange loop), one of which you’ll probably need to take your skis off for. It’s odd because there are still many spots on that loop that are still in great condition. The main campground still has like 90% good coverage, but it is visibly thinning, and patches of asphalt are visible in a few places. Be very careful on the descent into the campground, because that is where I noticed it to be the thinnest. You may want to take a sharp right and head down that little loop by way of the skate deck. I did not bother with the trail down to Ridgeview, since I could see patches of bare asphalt from afar.
Shoutout to the skier I talked to who was using 102mm skis in hopes that it would level out a lot of the bumpiness. It worked!
