BlackHawk Ski Area
Freshly groomed w/tracks. Lots of skiers but still skiing well.

All XC Ski trails were rolled last night to prep for the upcoming forecasted snow event. There is currently about 2 inches of snow throughout the course but with 4 inches of grass and some rocks it is not ready for skiers at the moment. Perform your best snow dance and let's hope the forecast …
Lots of folks enjoying the fresh 1.5" over existing light crust. More classic today than skating, given the soft, damp, new snow, but plenty of skied in tracks. As Ken mentioned in previous post, no grooming/packing of any kind, unfortunately. Fingers Crossed, coming storm looks promising.
