Powder /packed powder 3 degrees, sunny, light winds, scattered twigs and branches and hanging limbs. Excellent skiing being reported. Few slow spots from windblow yesterday. The compacted base on the trail is 6-9″ and the snow depth in the woods is 15-25″. We have groomed the entire trail system 2-5 times this week except for Island Lake trail.  The single track classic trails are slow going grooming wise with all the hanging limbs etc. but quite the experience to groom and ski through. Despite a morning low of -13, light winds and late January sunshine making for really nice conditions and pleasant real feel skiing. Grooming will continue tomorrow morning and on through the weekend, touching up the skate lanes and select classic trails.
