Next groom: next weekend with the expected snow. We are fully into the spring freeze/thaw cycle, and so the groomed tracks are degrading quickly and bringing up a dust layer. But that's ok, because the best skiing right now is off-trail. The snowpack has consolidated in...

April 2nd: Mild weather has resulted in the snow base melting rapidly, exposing dirt and pavement frequently. Remaining snow and tracksets will be soft and challenging to ski. 

Things are melting quick with the longer days and warm temperatures. Be aware of variable conditions as things melt and freeze. We are starting to lose connections around town center and in the community park. We are very limited with our grooming operations at this time until...
