Ski Hill Trails John 5:45-6:45am Skate

Much better ski today.  Grooming was excellent, snow texture was still weird with all the moisture but the deck was pretty consistent.  Pretty fast ski, a little debris in the trail.  Well done groomer!  Only main trail groomed.

Difficult ski this morning.  Hard to describe the texture of the snow, but it was a very wet snow that did set up.  The issue was as the groomer described-there ruts in the skate deck.  Quite numerous and in random locations- makes the descents a problem.  Then u skate going back and forth going across the deck looking for a smooth surface and it’s easy to catch a tip in the powder bordering the trail.  Anyway- not the best ski ever but it’s skiable and kinda fun.

Good ski this morning!  All side loops groomed except Trish.  Snow was a touch slow, kinda soft but stable.  Grooming was good, not great.  70/30 corduroy to chop, and one section of the lasso was cat tracks.  Minimal debris in the trail.  Overall very pleasant ski and especially good if u value a little extra workout over skiing fast.

Pretty good ski this morning-even without grooming last night.  Make sure to ski before it warms up and the new snow on top of the deck turns to slush.  The new snow from last night is light and dry and easy to ski through, so it’s a nice stable ski but a little slow.  Skied all the extra loops.  Trish’s is still a little rough in places but good overall.

Excellent ski- great snow and the grooming was good.  Only skied the main trail but nice fast ski.

Good ski this morning!  Cold snow like yesterday so cold wax helps a lot.  Grooming good but not all perfect corduroy, snow fast and stable.  Minimal debris.  No Trish-not groomed.  They are making snow at ski hill so so some snow dust floating around- pretty cool to see that lit up with the lights.
