Morning ski

 The road through Pilot Knob was great for skating this morning.  I'm not sure how many more melting days it can take so enjoy it while it's here.

Pilot Knob

 The skate deck on the road was rejuvenated Wednesday night.  For the lake, the skate deck was rejuvenated and the classic tracks were regroomed.

New snow

 We recieved 3 to 4 inches of snow yesterday.  The lake has been groomed with the ginzu for both classic and skate skiing.  I rolled the road and did make a classic track with the track setter.  It's a shame that we have melting temperatures in the forecast this week. It's very beautiful out there!

Pilot Knob

 The skate deck was rejuvenated this morning on the road and lake in Pilot Knob state park. Classic tracks look fairly good on the road and very good on the lake. Temperatures were about negative 12 during grooming so I expect the snow to set up very well for some great skiing today!

Warmer temps

 Should be some good skiing conditions this weekend plus the temperatures will be more pleasant.  I groomed the lake for both classic and skate skiing this morning.  And there was just enough time to refresh the skate deck on the road.  The classic tracks were still intact on the road but need to be skied in after the light snow we received.

Pilot Knob

 In the last couple of days we have probably received about one inch of snow total. I groomed the road and lake at Pilot Knob State Park for both classic and skate skiing this morning.

The Golf Course

 I groomed the golf course today but it is very thin in spots. It's only groomed for skating,  since it needs a lot more snow to set a consistent classic track.

The lake

 I regroomed the lake this morning for both classic and skate style skiing.  I did not have time to do the road again but it looks pretty good from the gate.

Pilot Knob

We received a good two or three inches with wind yesterday. I took the ginzu over the road and lake this morning.  The skate deck will need another grooming before it's really good. However the classic tracks should be good to go now.  Stay warm!

The lake

 I really enjoyed skate skiing the lake today. The classic tracks looked a little icy in spots but mostly pretty good. But the corduroy skated so nicely!



Back at it

 The snomobile has a new ignition module and is working fine again. I was able to groom Pilot Knob lake last night for both skate and classic skiing. I did make one pass on the skate deck on the road trying to wipe out a lot of snomobile tracks and walking damage. It's certainly skiable but is very thin in spots.
