We skied McNeil Canyon trails on 01/31/2012. Skate skied with a blue Toko glide wax and it was smooth fast and fun.
McNeil and Eveline groomed 1/30/12
Marathon Trail is roughed in and ready to ski. Just use caution on the downhills as there are a few rough spots. Tracks are set on Sunset, Farside, and Rucksack and conditions are prime for classic.
Lots of grooming activity on the Marathon Trail Jan 28& 29. Two machines pioneered the trail from Diamond Ridge to the yurt on Saturday, then 4 machines with 3 drags went from Diamond Rdg to Crossman Ridge and a bit beyond. It is skiable. If you could take a small saw, nippers, or even a wire cutter you could help cut out some of the brush. Beware of divits where machines turned around or got stuck.
I skated and classic the perimeter of Lookout Mtn. trails around noon on 01/14/2012. The groomers did a great job, however it is soft and slow due to the cold snow. I thought classic skiing was the better way to go, but had fun doing both.
McNeil and Eveline groomed 1/14
Lower Baycrest - Homestead, Master Blaster, College, & Headwaters were packed and dragged on Friday the 13th. No tracks set and trails are soft due to new snow and slow due to cold!
Eveline was groomed 1/1/.. great skiing.
Great skiing @ McNeil - thanks for the grooming (5k and 7.5k loops, plus sprint)!! Overnight the wind had blown over some classic tracks and narrowed the trail in a few places.
12/21/11 McNeil groomed this AM
Lookout Mountain. Best snow and trail conditions thus far this year. Awesome skating. Does more need to be said? Oh yeah get out and go….
12/16/11 McNeil and Eveline were groomed today. Conditions are good with a skate lane and a set track.
Skate skied McNeil yesterday at sundown…amazing colors and great trail. A little soft in spots but really nice for skating. Huge thanks to all you groomers! You are the best!
Lookout got 1-2″ and all the trails I skied on were great skiing - hayfields and around the perimeter of the hills & gullys. Thanks groomers!
12-8-11 12pm, Lookout trails and Hayfields groomed with some track set in Hayfield. Still some grass showing here and there but good skiing overall.
Lookout is getting tuned up for the high school races this weekend. The race trails (5k?) were corduroy, other trails were ungroomed powder - only the bunny tracks at sundown on Wednesday.
Eveline has been groomed. some sticks still showing, but it is groomed wide and was a good skate ski this am.
The parking lot at the Sunset Loop is “rough”. There is room for several vehicles, but the snow and frozen ground are uneven. 2wd and low clearance vehicles not recommended. Skiing at Sunset is very good, Midway has some grass, Homestead & Headwaters are a bit rough but OK for classical skiing, Lookout on Thanksgiving was very good to excellent.
Mcneil rolled, packed,brushed as of 11/25. It remains bumpy, and need additional base snow before dragging and leveling. X country skiing only, wi/ caution on downhills…
Great Tday suing at Lookout!
Great skiing at the Hayfields on Thursday afternoon 11-17-11. Corduroy all around. The trails around the stadium were wind packed, but skiable.
Rolled Homestead Sunday, Nov. 6, 2011. ok for classic rock skis. Brown bear, black bear, and wolf tracks. Beware. Bridge by the dump is out. Use the steel bridge.
