Great Riding Conditions!!
Overall excellent trail conditions, a light but steady amount of riders and smooth trails. The base is rock hard and flat with a nice groomed layer of softer snow. The weather has been warming up a bit so we are seeing more of an impact from sled traffic through the day. Still holding great though with minimal moguls developing.
Great riding conditions so get out and enjoy the trails
