Skied western part of the trails. Good coverage, and the trails appear to have been in a good shape initially. Unfortunately, there have been crowds of skate-skies who were damaging classical tracks by skate-skiing on them. How rude! Come on, you people! Do you have nothing better to do than ruin skiing experience for your …
Shallow man-made tracks, snow and coverage is great
Set a 5km track at Donald Park this morning. Might be trampled by hikers or snowshoers by now.
Woot, we have snow! All the trails seemed to have at least an initial grooming with further grooming to be done tomorrow morning. No tracks set yet. Get out there and enjoy!
At 4 pm the skate deck was soft with a lot of loose snow. It appears to have been groomed early on 1/10. Some sections of the skate deck are narrow and if not careful your tips will catch in the ungroomed banks. If the deck gets groomed by the morning of 1/11 it will …
At noon, classic tracks were set. A bit soft but not hard to stay in. Some few thin cover spots but all easily avoidable. If the trails get set again before morning of 1/11 it will be good.
All trails have been rolled and partially corduroyed to set up a base for future snows. Trails will be tracked and groomed when the base has stabilized. The snow moisture is extremely wet.
Looked like trails were groomed quickly last night and possible one more pass on this am. Snow was faster than expected and not as soft but deck was very uneven. Bike trail groomer left a trail of debris and made the deck even more uneven. A skis are ok on what was there before new …
The snowcat is out grooming the trails now. Skate conditions are excellent, but there's no real track for classic yet so it's only good. Snow is excellent and fast. No bare spots, a bit thin and icy under heavy trees.
At noon all groomed, partly tracked on West side. Fairly good coverage & control on hills. A few twigs and leaves, but quite good for mid-December skiing. Oh wait…
