Arrived at Lapham early am to find fresh tilled groomed trail consisting of solid base with half inch groomed corn type snow making for fast but controllable conditions. A couple icy spots on the loop but easy to go around. Put in 35km of enjoyable skiing. Thank You groomers! Parking lot was packed by the …
Nearly complete coverage, but as staff reported yesterday, there are some bare spots. Unfortunately, the winter hikers thought yesterday’s grooming was for their benefit. Oi. Multiple conversations on trail, but we need more on-trail signage since most are just oblivious.
There are stretches where coverage is good, but there are also a ton of bare spots, especially into and in the campground. The red loop isn't feasible without walking down the big hill into the campground. The green loop still had essentially full coverage, although you'll have to take the cutoff to the left instead …
Solid and icy on the entire snowmaking loop this morning. NE section with a 2 short segments of glare ice and 2 bare spots to go around. Bare ground in the tracks at the bottom of the magic carpet hill. Not great skiing, but it was skiable and probably the best trail available in southern …
Corduroy that was layer down yesterday was largely trashed by walkers and dogs before setting up hard. There will be a short window today when the snow softens enough to be skiable before turning to slush.
Minix (Yellow Loop), Willow Springs (Green Loop), Flint Rock (Red Loop) and the campground were groomed and leveled early this morning. The trails are in fair to poor conditions with lots of leaf litter. There are small stretches of thin, icy and open sections, although 90% of the trails are snow covered. A track was …
Yesterday managed to ski 12km up in the woods on the flats-about a 1km loop. So today ventured up there again. All the rain and wind removed all the skiable snow-all that's left is bare ground and icy stretches with lots of downed branches. Unfortunately skiing is done here until we get some significant snowfall …
The combination of record heat, some sun, torrential rain, heavy winds, and possible even some hail have had a visibly deleterious effect on the trails compared to just 24 hours ago. I took a quick drive through the park after the storm to take a peak at the trails at some of the road/hiking intersections. …
Do you feel intrepid? It’s surprisingly rewarding if you do.
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. …
