Passed many happy skiers today taking advantage of the single track grooming on the Doan Lake Trails. Deep snow available for trail breaking on the route to Joyce Estate. Started out with blue kick wax in the mix of sun and shade. Skins or scales becoming a better option by noon.

Nothing better than striding behind the groomer on fresh powder at Sugar Hills! Used old skin skis, which enabled easy hill climbing. Only the Lake Trail was groomed. You could use good skis with the only caution area being the bridges on the first 1K. The skate lane seemed soft, but may set up overnight.

Groomed all trails (except 2K cut-across at the top of the wall and the upper entrance) and set a track. I used the Pistenbully on all the biathlon trails, Service Road, and on Bittersweet Loop. Snow was actually a little shallow for the Pistenbully so there is some dirt/leaves on tight turns and steep hills. Used the snowmobile groomer (Tidd-Tech) on the rest of the Grant-In-Aid trails. The result there is clean snow, but it's softer..

Icy fast with bare spots, then slow snow on exposed SW hills. Skiing only for the daring and reckless. Not me.

Gate across road is closed due to warm temps. Ok to walk in but skiing likely to be sketchy.

Last week's skiffs of snow added nice texture over the packed but thin base. Really pretty nice coverage but still uneven and bumpy which add to the challenge. No tracks set. No lights yet. Enjoy before it melts.

Enough snow to classic ski. Some debris on trail yet decent snow covered the ground. Nice to ski on natural snow.

Trails seemed as good as they can be with how much snow we have. We followed a nice set of unofficial tracks laid down by others and did all the main loops.
(Ben Stubbs)

Trails were groomed but not tracked. Not enough snow to set tracks yet.
(Stephanie Kessler, Cohasset City Parks)

Just back in from the first rolling of our trails. As expected, the thin snow is beautiful, but not deep enough to set tracks. The River Trail and Swamp Trail have been rolled, but we haven't yet gotten behind the hospital or Sylvan Point Trail. Need a bit more snow.

Boomer Blue is plowed--not packed or groomed--plowed. Logging trucks and other heavy equipment are parked on the trail. Loop B has skied in and walking tracks.
(Jon Byrne)

Tracked south Suomi and amen lake trails. Lots of leaf covered ground exposed in the track and the trail is rough. Should be better with more snow.
(Randy Zupan)

Tracked Amen and south suomi. Exposed lots of leaves and the trail is rough. I wouldn't ski it till we get more snow, but some brave souls did from the time I started until I finished.
