30° clear and calm this morning. Alpine loop and spur trail are groomed for skate skiing. Lower parts are pretty hard but the upper parts are much softer with a little of what resembles corduroy…

29° clear and calm this morning. The season is winding down but we should still be able to groom alpine loop for skate skiing. Update around daylight…

Alpine and the spur are groomed. No classic track is set. There are thin, icy spots around the hairpin. This is probably the last weekend of grooming. Hope you can come up and enjoy it. Thanks for all the support this season.

powerline has melted out by the snow fence so I couldn’t make it out there. I did make it around Alpine. There’s thin spots either side of the hairpin but I think it’s skiable. I’m heading out for a second pass now.

29°F, no new snow. The snow surface has finally frozen and I think we can do some grooming. I’ll start with powerline and see how it goes. Stay tuned.

No grooming today due to the rain that fell last night. We may get some snow on the trails today that will let us get out there this weekend. Fingers crossed!

Hi friends, it did not get below freezing last night at the trails so there will be no grooming today. I’ll check in again tomorrow.

seems the temps are warmer up high than down in the valley. 45 degrees and too warm to groom. Hope for a freeze soon! For those dying to ski, Essex outer trails have been great last two days, interior trails there very soft. Or dust those bikes off and get out for a ride today!

I’m afraid it’s just too soft. I made it out to the Y and back, but skiing is not recommended. We’ll try again tomorrow.

39°F, not raining. The snow is soft but dry. I’m going to try to groom powerline and see how it goes. Stay tuned.
