The snowmaking loop was groomed for skating, and the classic track was reset in areas where it had drifted over. We started pushing the snow that was made over the weekend, and will finish pushing by the end of tomorrow.

Full coverage, but thin in spots with grass poking through. Couple more inches and we'll be much better off. It is groomed for skating, not for classic. But many classic skiers have set their own track. Very soft and slow snow today. Hard work.

We set corduroy for the entire trail system, save for a few cutoffs and the trail to/around the top of the mound (only rolled). The snow is extremely fluffy and compacted to only an inch or two. There are stretches that look great, but quite a few others where the groomer unfortunately brought up a …

Had been lightly groomed (thanks!), but is fairly thin tread. 90+% covered, but plenty of thin, bare or churned spots. So, have to keep a keen eye for bare ground and occasional gravel pebbles. Still, quite a nice ski, best is below the campground and through the hills. Lightly groomed and rarely used made it …

Trails were rolled Sunday morning. Many areas had good coverage but in many other spots the snow was thin and grass and other vegetation was showing through. Because of this, we decided not to groom today. The trails are still probably skate-able with rock skis if you want to get out.

Groomed for skate only. Just enough snow for coverage but there is grass showing in open areas.

A delightful wonderland for a waxable (blue/green) ski with nary a trace of my tracks. I was able to stay in grooves laid by groomer WVH who rolled beautiful wide lanes on all the trails — with a warning of possible gravel at the bottom of the hill in the campground stretch due to no …

The snowmaking loop was groomed for skating and classic using the snowcat. The far north section of the Upper Field Trail remains very thin for approximately 100 meters; please ski with caution in this area. Snowmaking will continue throughout the day and is expected to finish sometime after 3:00 p.m. Due to ongoing snowmaking operations, …

There is enough snow as of Jan 17th, but the trails haven't yet been groomed. I don't know when this is scheduled or if anything will be done Saturday. Skiers were making their own tracks on Fern Dell which kind of worked, but kind of didn't. Hopefully the park grooms tomorrow.

Not groomed, plenty of tracks. Coverage is pretty good, but heard a little singing from the scales when I was under the pine trees. Glad I used rock skis.
