Lower trails received a maybe heavy trace of snow with top of Amabilis receiving a little over 1 inch blanketing the trees in white.

Groomed up Amabilis. Lower trails very soft and have not been groomed since Thursday. It did not freeze overnight.

AGAIN hopeful for colder overnight temperatures.

No grooming this morning.

We waited and waited for it to get cold enough to make a pass but the weather just didn't cooperate.

The top is frozen but underneath it's still warm and soft.

Groomed lower trails and The Road.

Trails are generally in spring-like, mid- to late-March conditions. The recent stretch of wet, warm rain days — when we postponed grooming — is now paying off, allowing us to continue grooming operations.

We have suspended grooming on the section of the Berg Loop that parallels The Road (the typically thin, dirty stretch). To access Amabilis, you’ll need to walk approximately 50 feet through the gate.

Typical thin areas exist on the lower trails, but there are currently no bare walking sections.

Erling Stordahl needs more snow in several small sections, particularly over stumps. We’re waiting for cooler temperatures before addressing those areas.

Snowmobile trails are in great shape for skating this morning and are being groomed from the intersection of Road 54 (Stampede Pass) and Road 5480 (Lost Lake).

The large daily temperature swings are creating a nightly grooming timing challenge. Some nights we hit it just right; others — like yesterday — we may have missed it.

Hopeful for more snow in the next 10 days.

Groomed lower trails, The Road and Amabilis to the top.

The freeze/thaw cycle was a challenge with the previous days weather. The trails are groomed out well in places but other places groomed out rough.
