03/31 Thursday

All ski trails groomed, except the Summit complex.  Spring conditions exist.  Trails are narrowing, along with thin/bare spots.  There is still a lot of good, skiable terrain out there so, be careful and have a great day. Randy

03/30 Wednesday

We tried grooming all ski trails this morning.  We will not groom the Summit complex any more without significant snowfall.  As it is spring, there is narrowing of the trails along with thinning base and bare spots.  Constantly changeing conditions exist. Be safe and have fun, Randy

03/29 Tuesday

All ski trails groomed this morning.  The base did not freeze overnite.  It was grooming out very well until it began snowing.  Roughly an inch of new by the end of grooming.   Have fun, Randy

03/28 Monday

All ski trails still able to be groomed.  The warm temps are narowing the ski trails, along with causing some thin spots.  Constantly changeing, spring conditions exist.  Be safe and have some fun on those skiis. Good skiing, Randy

Hello skiers! The trails groomed out nice again today! Spring conditions are definitely present. There was a lot of melting yesterday. Use extra caution on Summit, Lower UW and Rollercoaster. Those trails are all skiable but are seeing some narrowing and open spots. Remember your sunscreen! -Dan

Sunny days!! The coverage is still excellent on all the Happy Jack trails and everything was groomed out this morning.  There are a couple spots out there where the trail is starting to narrow but the rest is good.  Get those last days of skiing in! -Dan

My appologies, I worked late yesterday and then had some things distract me so, I didn't post a report yesterday.  So, for yesterday: About 2" of new snow since last groomed.  All ski trails groomed.  Classic tracks set on Campground, Meadow, Phil's thru Van's, Summit, Miners Loop, Haunted Forest, Ridge, Blackjack and Alder.   For today: All ski trails groomed.  It didn't freeze hard overnite so I was able to lay some corduroy this morning. Coverage remains good.  Please remember constantly changeing spring conditions exist. Be safe and have FUN,  Randy

All ski trails groomed today.  It was lightly snowing when I began grooming, and continued snowing the entire time I groomed.  It snowed very heavy at times.  1" to 2" of new snow this morning.  I was able to lay some nice corduroy but, you'll have to take my word for it in most areas or dig thru the new snow to see it... Good skiing, Randy

All ski trails groomed.  We've had some substantial drifting the last 2 days, most of which has been groomed over.  It has created some softer, less than level areas though.  Also, changing spring conditions are present again today.  Lots of sunshine and snow. Good Skiing, Randy

03/12 Saturday

I did some grooming this morning.  Got a late start due to WYODOT closing roads.  Most trails got at least 1 pass, several 2 passes.  Due to warming weather, along with the breeze, the snow changed and I had to stop grooming.  Hard to believe but, constantly changeing spring conditions exist today. Good Skiing, Randy

Got busy, then forgot to post yesterdays grooming report so, laid down some beautiful corduroy on all ski trails.  You'll have to take my word for it because yesterdays corduroy is covered by 8" to10" of new snow.  I rolled Campground, Meadow, Upper UW, Phil's thru Moose, Ridge, Alder, Sprint and Chyt's multiple times this morning.  Conditions are cold, breezy and a little soft. Have fun, Randy

Constantly changing spring conditions exist.  According to those who forecast such things, the weather will be back to winter beginning tomorrow.  There are multiple thin spots on Summit and a bare area at the beginning of Lower UW.  Hopefully, all thin/bare areas will be covered in new snow soon. Good skiing, Randy

Hello all! Spring skiing is upon us! All the trails were groomed today and coverage is good!  The worst part of the trails was the very beginning of Lower UW, the sun got that trail bad yesterday but the rest of the trail is well covered. Variable spring conditions are present throughout the system! Do a big snow dance for this weekend! -Dan

Spring conditions are present...  for now.  Hard pan in the morning to slushy in the afternoon.  Coverage was still good today with the exception of a few spots on Summit. Good Skiing, Randy

03/01 Tuesday

All ski trails groomed this morning.  With the warmer weather yesterday, the trails firmed up some.  The trails did groom out well so, for skaters it will be easy to find an edge.  There was a little sheen in places in the classic tracks but, I'm sure it will be gone by now. Good skiing, Randy
