March 14

 We’re basically out of snow at the golf course. There was enough to do a tiny bit of crust cruising yesterday but it’s not worth it. Time to head north or east for some groomed trails.

March 11, Monday

 The skate track has been tuned up and is skiing beautifully. If you can ski during the colder hours of the day, you will avoid slushy snow (plus that helps avoid making permanent ruts). There are several grassy spots on south facing hills, so just watch your speed if you’re in the downhill. Have fun!

Just back from grooming.  All trails (including the Cow Pasture) are now groomed with a few modifications to avoid problem spots.  The Classic tracks are still set and look pretty good with a few spots of bare grass.  With the help of Doug's RZR I was able to widen the skate track and make another pass down the middle.  The snow is soft and was drifted in places so be on the lookout for some ruts as well as bare spots on the south facing slopes.  Should be great skiing if it stays cold through the weekend!

March 6 midday

 Doug had time for one pass around the perimeter to put in some classic tracks before he had to go. I’ll update if we can find help laying down a skate deck.

 I’m really happy to have something to report! Here’s Doug’s text from his work last night:

Just to let you know we are back skiing with the best snow conditions of the winter.  The bridges are back and all hills are covered.  The tracks both skate and conventional are as good as they have been all winter.  There may be some wind damage because the wind was still blowing at 11:30 PM when I finished. I will touch it up Monday.  As the weather forecast looks, we may get to ski for a couple of weeks.  Probably too much too late. It was a fun day, just too bad it wasn’t in December.
