A nice wet 3" of fresh snow overnight has given the trail system a perfect refresh. It is grooming out nicely and all the core trails are set to be groomed out fresh in just a little while. Just about everywhere is set to get the groomers touch today.
Skiing is fast so take it easy on the down hills. Especially on the outer loop, Trails #6 Folsom Brook, #9, #10 as there are rough spots on all the downhill sections. Skiing on trails #6, #9 and #10 is for experts only who can stop quickly on all steep downhills and rough terrain.OT or BC Ski Setups recommend. Also the downhill coming down #2A is sketchy and should be skied uphill.
Other than that the skiing is excellent and the scenery will be great today. Very wintry. See you up here.

The temperature as of 7AM is around 30 degrees. The snowpack has not totally frozen and it looks to be grooming out quite nicely, with a buttery granular surface. The Temps are supposed to rise into the mid thirties today. Skiing should be nice all day long. The snow is fast so take it easy on the downhills. Especially through the woods. Skiers use caution skiing down #2A in particular. Some bumps are present. Skiing will be really nice, a few spring type spots have appeared but they are few and far between and easily avoided. See you up here.

A late evening grooming mission last night revealed a trail system's snow coverage fairy unaffected by the last few days weather events. The coverage is still excellent out there and skiers today will find great conditions to enjoy. The base is well consolidated and grooming is ongoing.
Last night I groomed and tracked up some of the outer core trails, like #7A,#7 out to the #4 loops and #5 through the woods. The rest is in the grooming process. Starting at the Ole's base and working outward I should have most of the core trails groomed up and ready for ripping in just a few hours. There are a few wet spots still draining, but only just a few. The snow should be a packed and combed out base, just full of good glide. Hope to see you all up here skiing today.
