Great glide conditions

 Pilot Knob Road

The road was skiing very well Saturday.  It hadn't been groomed since Wednesday, but the glide was great.

Weekend skiing

 Skiing was pretty good Saturday and should be the same today.  I was able to reset the classic tracks around the lake early Saturday morning just before the snowmobile started acting up.  I couldn't groom anymore but was able to get it back on the trailer.  I ordered parts for it which will take about a week to get.  Fortunately, these trail conditions should last quite a while without any further grooming.

Skiing update

 The trails were in good shape tonight in the park.  The lake had some blowing snow that filled in some of the classic tracks but it still skated well.  The road is in the best shape of the season as it is fairly well protected from blowing snow.

Wednesday night grooming

 The lake and the road in Pilot Knob State Park have been groomed for both skating and classic skiing.

Sunday skiing

Some Sunday skiing action at Pilot Knob.  The classic tracks were in really good shape on both the lake and road.  Skating was a little slow yet, but much better than last weekend's slow snow.   More snow is on the way for the third night in a row.  I think we're good now.  I'm ready for a break in new snow grooming and ready to get the skate deck firmed up better.

Pilot Knob

 We received another 1 to 2 inches of snow last evening with very little wind.  I groomed all of Pilot Knob this morning for both classic and skate skiing.  This is a higher moisture content snow than what we had a little over a week ago.  I expect it to set up much better and hopefully provide some good glide this afternoon.

PIlot Knob

 I regroomed the lake and the road in Pilot Knob State Park this morning.  It should be very good for both classic and skate skiing.
