Grooming has been completed at Hatchery, Mosquito Brook, OO, and at Birkie Trail head.  The Birkie trail between Hatchery Park and Mosquito Brook has one classic track set, and is in good shape, but base is thin and will likely have a few bare spots in the next days. Deck is is in good shape, slightly uneven as we are working with no base and some warm ground. The loops at OO and both Skate and Classic trails to Boedecker are also tracked, and in good shape. Competition Loops at Birkie trailhead are also tracked and in good shape.  Skiing should be quite good for the next few days, but temperatures will start to rise again going into the weekend so get out early and come ski! Please consider that were essentially operating as if it's the start of the season so there is not a base underneath our current snowpack, so it will be a little uneven and there may be some debris or slush in a few areas. Winter finally arrived!

We have a single pass groomed from the trailhead to the wheeler road crossing. Snow coverage is decent through the trail, but water has been pooling in low areas causing some ponding and slush to be prevalent. There are good sections of snow throughout, but may take some adventure to find them. We are planning to groom tomorrow once the temperatures drop and hopefully some of the water drains. We will hit OO and hopefully do the loop north to Boedecker, and hit the birkie trail between hatchery and mosquito brook as well as the hatchery loops.

Unfortunately the snow band seems to have missed us and we received plenty of rain last night into this morning. It has knocked down our accumulation significantly and made the snow super saturated. We are still going to run a cat to the south today, but may hold off on grooming at OO. There is a small loop accessible from the lot at the parking area for the observation tower at Mount Telemark Village, that crosses the road over to Telehenge and heads out towards the start area. Skiing should be ok as there is still some base left from snowmaking, but it will be variable in quality so please ski carefully.  There is a possibility of the rain turning into snow as we go through today, and if it proves to be enough we will consider a grooming attempt, but it will need to be a significant amount. Stay tuned for any updates on that front. Thank you!

We're looking at about 6" here so far in Birkie land, our plan at the moment is to groom on Tuesday after the final snow over Monday night. Plans are to do a small loop at the trailhead, some loops at OO, and a pass from north to south with loops in Hatchery if snow totals allow.
