As of 6:30am we have received just under an inch of fresh snow and the temp is 2 degrees. Yesterday was a great day to ski, with sunny skies and temps in the mid teens. Groomer Matt will start Ginzu grooming the skating lanes and resetting tracks where needed early this morning. Conditions are very good to excellent for skate and classic skiing on the trails. We have 8 to 16 inches of snow in the woods and 5 to 9 inches packed on the trails.
