At 09:00, there were high clouds, no wind, 4C(39F). The road up clear, lot muddy, 2 cars, 50% Subaru.

Deck very firm in the am, a bit icy, then softening as the day progressed. Trails holding up moderately well, sticking to well groomed trails is important lots of debris. One skater stated morning conditions were excellent. The snow is old, softer conditions later in day are better for classic.

You will notice new Junction Maps Signs tomorrow as all have been swapped out (except Nova Hut). They are updated with poper location of rescue packs, rest-rooms, and easier to read! We also added some more trail signs to make beginner navigations easier. Enjoy!

34 degrees at 9:45, Calm, and foggy. 15 cars, 20% Subaru. The temperature dipped below freezing last night, which firmed everything up. The deck was variable, mostly firm and fast, with some bite, but also some icy sections with little to no bite. Frequent spots of dirty snow and debris, but still avoidable if you pay good attention and steer around them. Given all that, it's still worth the drive up and there is some excellent skiing to be had.

At 09:15, it was +5C(41F), cloudy, mild wind. Road up clear, parking a bit muddy, 27 cars, 18% Subaru. Sun came out later, then light dusting of snow.

Toes and fingers stayed warm on this balmy day. Choose your trails wisely. Trails groomed are in fair to good shape;there is moderate mixed debris most places. The classic tracks are slow and fair quality with a lot of chopped snow, then transitions to good quality in some places; you do have to watch for grass, brush, and dirt. Skate deck is firm, just a bit soft on top, and slow also like the tracks. Be aware there are some dirt spots around downhill corners.

The artists have done their best with the snow we have, MANY skiers still enjoying the trails. Bring durable skis, a good attitude, realistic expectations and you will have fun!.

41 degrees F at 11:30, calm and cloudy. Plenty of cars in the lot, but also plenty of places to park. The lot was mostly muddy with some ice and slush mixed in. The trails are wet and sloppy but still worth skiing on. The deck is soft, but the firm base underneath keeps you from sinking in too far. Some bare spots starting to emerge, so be careful not to ski over dirt. It's still worth going up to ski for now, but we really need new snow and colder temps!

George reports that at 9am the temp was 2 degrees celsius (35 F), and there were 17 cars in the lot (7 Subaru, or 41%)

Later on, around noon, there were about 40 cars, and the temp was still holding around 35F. The skies were gray, with clouds obscuring the mountain. There was very light rain, which changed to wet snow as I was leaving. The conditions are still holding up, a bit slower than recent days, with a medium/firm deck and good tracks. The snow is moist, creaky, and slightly sticky, and some stuff of a different consistency is falling off the trees, but it isn't icy.

27 degrees at 11:40, ~40 cars and 2 school buses in the lot. Calm, with diffuse sunlight shining through thin clouds, making occasional shadows and even some snow sparkle here and there. The trail quality is remaining consistent, still holding up quite well, with a fast deck and good tracks (some crumble in places). The cold has preserved the conditions very well. Lets hope it stays that way, and that the moisture in the forecast comes to fruition.

Today at 11:10, road up still good one icy spot, full parking lot, bluebird skies, no wind -7C but felt colder in the shade.

Another good extensive groom including Outer Limits. Just watch Mica from J9 to Ridge Run as some stones are mixed in to the otherwise sweet skate deck. Some places have a bit more mixed organic debris than others. Classic tracks are a bit better, occasionally disappearing in thin areas.

Pole tips squeak on snow.

Frosty trees sparkle with sun.
