Owen Conservation park. A hidden gem where I saw a flock of turkeys and a huge deer. I skied the main sections and a small trail in the woods. Tehre was good snow coverage but icy. The downhills are very fast BUT the logs they have horizontal to the trail to stop runoff were barely …

There is just baaarely enough coverage for the trails, but what a joy to get out finally! Areas under trees were in the worst condition with a lot of debris and grass showing. However, where there was snow it was hard packed and fast. The loop along Milward Dr had the best, most consistent snow …

Iola Winter Sports Park

Skied the black and blue loops. Arrived early morning 5F to absolutely perfect groomed trails. Was one of the first ones on the trails. found it to be fairly fast considering the temps. Kudos to the grooming crew-Was best groomed natural snow trail I've skied on all year. The grooming crew should teach a class …

Great day to be out on the white beauty. Tracks are a bit worn, but in beautiful shape. Thanks Chip and Yuriy. North end of the upper field is the only place where one should take caution due to thin snow and hence a bit of exposure and dirt. Get out here folks. It’s going …

Odana Golf Course

The skiing was great! There are a few sections that make your skis feel like you are in a 'war zone', and you feel them slowing you down (twigs, grass, dirt, some rocks). Aside from that, there is still skiing to be had. Have fun!!! — Continue the snow dance to bring more cold weather …

Blue Mound SP

Able to level the top 1" of snow and scratch the deck level. The base is still thin (2") and firm, and coverage is generally good. No track was set. Expect downhills to remain fast, with thin coverage. Vehicle tracks in the campground have been removed. Blue Mound State Park will have its Candlelight Ski …

McMiller – Eagle

First time at mcmiller this year. Skied the blue loop trail early this am 4F. Trails ungroomed apparently haven't been groomed since the 22nd. So need some serious grooming as the center portion is hard packed and uneven. Some areas under pines etc very thin with lots of debris- understand not grooming there but back …

Cherokee Marsh

Trails were all snow covered with skier-made tracks and some new grooves (not tracks) from recent grooming. Unsurprisingly, the trails closest to Wheeler Rd had lots of footprints from hikers – but trails in the back forty were generally footprint free.

All the tracks were very solid, the far north end of the loop is getting quite thin with some gravel starting to show through. If they haven’t covered that area with Snow, I recommend Bwe’re very solid, the far north end of the loop is getting quite thin with some gravel starting to show through. …
