Trails were groomed this morning for the weekend and they are in a reasonably good shape.
Should be beautiful classic and skate spring skiing.

Grooming Report 2024/02/24
Classic Track: Yes
The grooming crew was out Monday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday this week. We have been trying to keep the snow in good shape so it continues to last and ski well.The front hill is starting to narrow but the shade fencing is doing its job and there’s still coverage the whole way. Past Point A, the trails are in great shape. We refreshed the corduroy and reset the classic track this evening. Should be good skiing Sunday morning.

I set track but I assume with the way it was snowing, track will be filled in soon. Cleared trees and a lot of debris. Still bits here and there but had to keep moving with the high winds ripping.

Classic Track: No
Lukas and I groomed tonight. There was 8-12 inches throughout the trails and much more out in the meadow.
It was very hard to find the trail out in the meadow, but we did our best. We did two laps each in the meadow loop and one lap each of the rest of the trails. No classic track, just rough packing.

Sunday night we got about 4-6” of new snow and it’s been really cold up on the mountain. Conditions are great for skiing. We groomed Monday night and Tuesday night. Trails are in fantastic shape. Both skate and classic are fully groomed. We just set a new classic track this evening.
