Trails were groomed today after the snow from Sunday. Go enjoy them!

All trails groomed. They are in good shape. Tracks set on almost all trails. Still some areas too thin to set tracks. But skate lanes are nice.

Rolled the trail this morning. Snow seemed to set quite well. There is a layer on ice under the snow from our warm up a while back, so hopefully this fluffy snow bonds to it.

Made another pass with the Pistenbully this evening to further firm up the skate deck and reset tracks after the new snow. We had a total of about 6.5" this past week. Conditions are getting really nice with the new snow! We were able to groom the Service Road and Bittersweet Loop/Magview with the Pistenbully for the first time this season, so those trails should be just as good as the machine made snow loops. Conditions should be awesome!

Groomed Amen and south Suomi up to the north Suomi parking lot. About 5" of light snow on top of a solid base. Track is squirrelly in places due to the groomer sliding, but plenty skiable.

Rolled and tracked all Trout Lake system trails. Light fluffy new snow so tracks are a little soft. Best skiing we've had for quite awhile.

We received 5" of new snow last night and started grooming before sunup. Set classic track and packed and leveled skate lane on all trails except Atomic Drop which we will hit tomorrow. Conditions are pretty soft right now but not complaining at all. Grooming plans: We will plan to groom again later this week before the weekend.

Trails were groomed but not set for tracks, not enough snow. But all trails were groomed flat today.
(Stephanie Kessler, Cohasset City Parks)

Skied loops 2 and 3, all trails have yet to be groomed. Base is frozen wet snow topped with a bit of fluff, feels a bit crusty but the frozen base prevents bottoming out and scraping up ski bottoms. Lots of boot tracks on parts of loop 2. Not great skiing, but better than not skiing.

Skied counter-clockwise around the McKinley Lk loop, over to the outhouse intersection, and most direct route back to trailhead. Temperature was at thawing so snow was soft. Low lateral stability and variable friction made for challenging conditions, especially while breaking trail on the first loop.
