As the groomer previously reported, varying snow depths resulted in inconsistent track conditions that were a little scary on the downhills with turns. There are bare spots on the first steep climb uphill and along the windswept, sun-beaten flat trail by Lawrence Lake. Northwest winds brought down leaves and needles to catch wax skis. A few thrills and only one spill made for a great spring ski.

Tracked Amen and south Suomi trails. Two to four inches of fresh snow. Full track in the heavier areas and shallower track in the light areas. All skiable.

Tracks set up firmly in new snow provided control on the twisty turny downhills. But it was somewhat tricky to get ski out all the way to snowplow and slow descent on the first steep downhill south out of the parking lot. My one and only wax choice Extra Blue gave me great kick to get up most hills in the tracks! But it was challenging to get skis out to herringbone up when needed on the steep uphills. I left my marks on both the downhills and uphills. Temp was about 15 when we finished at 5:30 pm.
