BMSP staff have been doing an excellent job at grooming over the last week. I skied the yellow and green loops, in addition to the recommended out-and-back to the campground hill. Flats and downhills were a bit firm, steep uphills were a bit soft. Few footprints for once. The green loop is in great condition, …
Skate skiing on the ungroomed fairways this noon was surprisingly nice.
Park received about 3" of snow this week. Minix (Yellow Loop) and Willow Springs (Green Loop) were groomed and leveled on Friday Feb. 16th. Flint Rock (Red Loop) and the campground were also groomed, but the downhills into the campground are mostly open. Recommended down and back on Flint Rock and not entering the campground …

Had a great time at Lapham enjoying super fast ball bearing skate conditions. The classic track was icy and so …

Mostly zoomed around on my fish scales and tried a little bit of skating. Conditions were much better today than over the weekend. The groomer really did a great job this morning. Still no tracks, but great corduroy. Given how warm it was today, I was pretty surprised at how excellent the coverage still is …
