Winner Creek Trail has been reset with a base best suitable for classic skiing! Report is that soft snow along the trail will temper enthusiasm. As increased users and trail hardening occurs, multi-use will be the mode.  All trails were groomed last night. What a way to start the week!

Fresh snow overnight is covering all the trails and the CAT track is great for skiing this morning. The perimeter trails were smoothed yesterday evening. Etiquette 1. if you're postholing, turnaround to maintain the trails - it takes precious resources to groom! 2. Pick up dog poop. Enjoy the trails and thank you volunteers!...
