Recent grooming with minimal debris worked into the deck. Some needles and leaves in a few spots. Some damaging boot traffic near the river on both mixed use and designated ski trails. Overall the trails were in very good shape for late February. Although the trail system has a relatively small footprint, I had two hours of fun mixing up routes.

Trails were groomed again with tracks being set. Trails are in good condition. Night skiing is good with lights on the trails.

A very nice, deep, and firm track. There were plenty of oak leaves and deer tracks present, but it was otherwise in very good condition. I skied all of the loops and had a great time out there.
