Trail Conditions
Sunday February 16, 2025. 3 inches new snow on 2 days old tracks. Many downed branches on trail. I cleared sweet water of all but one which was too heavy to move. Skiing is great, good snow and not icy.
Trail Conditions
Saturday, February 15,2025. Skied Sweet H2O, Christian and Leonard. New snow over track laid Friday. Overall excellent conditions. It would be a good idea for ASP to track on weekends. I thought it might be useful to give some xc-country skiing tips. Buying xc skis: People ask me how to I pick a ski that fits me. The choice is often wrongly made by measuring their height. The snow doesn’t know how tall you are it only knows what you weigh. When trying on a new pair of skis place them on a flat floor and step on them. There is a mark on skis that marks their balance point. Place the balls of your feet there. With equal weight on both feet a piece of paper should slip under your skis where your feet are. This means that when you’re gliding your kick wax or your kick grooves don’t touch the snow. Next you should place most of your weight on one ski and this time the paper should not slide under your ski. This mean that the skis have the correct camber and will grip the snow when you kick. As an aside, xc skis have a kick zone and a glide zone.

Tuesday February 11,2025. Skied all upper trails. All tracked and in good condition. Fast but not icy. You can effectively snowplow.
Trail Conditions
Friday, February 7, 2025. Looks like track was set for upper trails. Track is shallow icy and fast. I would advise experts only as conditions are dangerous. Regular cross county skis do not work well in icy conditions. Pray for about 4 inches of new snow.

Trail Conditions
January 25,2025 all upper trails in good condition. It would behove the Park to groom the trails early Saturday morning. Temperature was cold but snow is fast.
January 11,2025
All trails tracked, 2 inches of new snow.. Swix blue extra kick wax worked well
2/2/23 Tuesday 31 degrees F 3:34PM Upper Trails still excellent – fast but not dangerous. Hopefully the Park will groom Friday. The cold temperature will keep the cat from damaging the track.
XC Ski Conditions
