Summary
Overnight temperatures dipped to a brisk -5°F, preserving the modest 8-inch snowpack. While coverage is thinner than average—down over 57%—the trails are holding steady with a firm, fast surface ideal for classic and skate skiing. Early risers will enjoy excellent glide in the morning, though exposed patches may appear on south-facing inclines and heavily trafficked areas. No new snow is forecasted today, so conditions will remain largely unchanged through the afternoon.
Despite the lean snowpack, grooming teams report that most primary loops are skiable with caution. Users are advised to watch for icy sections and occasional vegetation poking through on lesser-used paths. There are no major local advisories or news impacting the area, so it's a great day for a peaceful escape into the woods. Dress in layers, bring hand warmers, and enjoy the Arctic light filtering through frosted birch stands—a rewarding winter experience awaits those venturing out before the next storm system arrives later this week.
