Trail Condition

Icy in spots. Sugary in others. Snow mostly clean and good coverage. But likely last day for decent skiing until the new year. Put on your snow dancing shoes folks. We need some major incantations here. Happy Holidays all.

Lots of icy spots and not well groomed. Tried skiing up hill 2 but under fresh artificial snow was a sheer of ice. No go on climbing hill two much past biathlon haus. Full coverage. Expect better grooming

Pretty much the same as my report two days ago. A bit icy, but good coverage and control. Busy day. Will warm up fast. Hoping for snow. Dancing like crazy.

For this time of year and little snow or cold, conditions were good. Sugary snow. Good coverage. Turns not very icy. Lot of use today with the schools present. Good to see those young folks out there learning the ropes. Kudos to their instructors for managing and assisting them. Snow dance folks. Snow dance!

Due to warm temperatures snow making loop is closed today (Thursday 12/7) and tomorrow (Friday 12/8). Will post an update about Saturday on Friday evening. Thank you for helping to preserve the trail.

No grooming today (worker confirmed no plans to groom today) leaving the Siberian Hwy an ice rink after the thaw yesterday and re-freeze last night. Loop was nice over the weekend when groomed making a 1K out/back distance from Hills 2-5 with a nice gentle turn around a snow whale on hill 2, then going …

Groomed this morning-nice re-granulated snow and plenty of base. Trail and directions are well marked and much improved from last Friday. Thank you CXC.

There is skiing at the mound, believe it or not. Best where walkers have packed it some, pool connector, Willow Springs. I skied out and back and avoided any downhill stuff. Should be good Thurs. morning anyway. NOTE: Due to stress and drought the park has had a terrible loss of oak trees. Park staff …
