Wow is there a lot of snow left at the Mound. Trail was combed out again Monday and I was thrilled with how nice it was mid afternoon at 45F. I skied from the parking lot on the upper section to the campground hill and back several times. Rock skis for sure and there are …
Snowmaking loop appeared to have been groomed last night, then froze overnight into a solid block of ice by this morning. Trail was much better yesterday, but still skiable. Probably was best today 11-1. No classic track today. Good news: Several snow guns are set up to potentially compete the loop and extend it!! Thank …
Minix (Yellow Loop) and Willow Springs (Green Loop) were groomed and leveled. 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 from Flint Rock. The trails are in fair to poor conditions with …
Grromed for skating around 7:45 am. Good to excellent conditions on 99% of the snowmaking loop but use rock skis to be safe. Loop is the same length as yesterday about 600 meters.
Although there has been some thinning in spots, conditions were significantly better today than yesterday once the snow softened a bit. The only full loop that is feasible without taking your skis off is the green loop, and the worst part of that is right at the trailhead. I would still recommend taking the cutoff …
Snowmaking loop groomed/tilled this morning and in good condition. Few soft areas, but full coverage. Classic track washed out in several areas, but present. Lots of skiers this morning going every which way. Directional signs may be helpful. Thank you Blackhawk groomers.
Overall, good. There were two short stretches of 2-3 ft with dirt across the tracks that were easily avoided. There was very little glazing in the tracks. The tracks were plenty deep. I had plenty of grip nearly all the way around using my skins today. There is only skiing on the man-made loop. The …
Arrived at Lapham early am to find fresh tilled groomed trail consisting of solid base with half inch groomed corn type snow making for fast but controllable conditions. A couple icy spots on the loop but easy to go around. Put in 35km of enjoyable skiing. Thank You groomers! Parking lot was packed by the …
Nearly complete coverage, but as staff reported yesterday, there are some bare spots. Unfortunately, the winter hikers thought yesterday’s grooming was for their benefit. Oi. Multiple conversations on trail, but we need more on-trail signage since most are just oblivious.
There are stretches where coverage is good, but there are also a ton of bare spots, especially into and in the campground. The red loop isn't feasible without walking down the big hill into the campground. The green loop still had essentially full coverage, although you'll have to take the cutoff to the left instead …
