The CXC snowmaking loop and field were groomed with the snowmobile this morning and are good! The snow-making loop is great, and the field is mostly good, but extremely thin–not sure how much longer it will survive. Pleasant View was UNGROOMED and an icy, rutted mess in the early morning. I'm guessing the groomer is …
Still pretty skiable thanks to earlier grooming. With overnight temps below freezing it could be a lot of fun tomorrow morning. Get it while you can.
Regarding the tire tracks, I witnessed the Pleasant View employee drive the machine across the ski trail. I don't know why he was driving this machine across the golf course. It's a huge mess on the ski trail where the machine cut through. It's on the far side of the golf course where there are …
Encouraged by recent reports, I decided to give BMSP another shot this evening. I stuck to the campground and pool trail, and honestly the tracks were in excellent shape. I almost couldn’t believe it. There are a couple of spots with leaf debris, and it is still quite soft (especially pole plants), but for the …
Skied early morning-did a couple laps on the golf coarse-varied conditions similar to yesterday's post. watch out for ruts created by some "Einstein" who decided to go off roading on the golf course with his monster truck. snow became very soft by the time I left. More and more bare spots popping up.
The good: At least 4-6” of base and continuous snow coverage across the trail system. Fast and solid snow in the predawn hours; campground loop could be skated. The bad: hasn’t been groomed. Snow got soft after 7am. Runner/hiker tracks in ski trail make ski control difficult on downhills. Crashed on downhill to campground when …
No additional grooming today.
Decent spring skiing conditions early this morning – mostly firm corn snow without many ruts. Was getting softer already by 730. Some very dirt saturated spots but no super thin spots in west side loops. Icy and thin by ball fields, east side not worth trying because it doesn’t seem to have been groomed. Will …
I started around 11:00 and while the tracks were a bit icy, I was skiing on Fischer Crown skis and had quite decent kick. Where not, I just got out of the tracks and it was very good. Pole plants were an occasional issue as a pole could get stuck in the crusty snow.. I …
Groomed this morning and then skied. Results varied excellent/good for 80% of trails, and fair for the rest, with a few poor spots. But given the recent weather, I was pleasantly surprised and saw a lot of happy faces this morning. Was able to set new classic tracks for about 50% of trails, and tracks …
