The good news is that the trails at the Purple Sage Nordic Center have been groomed.  Margaret and Betsy both report that the tracks and the snow were excellent.

We are still waiting for snow to begin grooming, currently there is about
5-6" of snow in the parking lot.  There are sections of the trail that are
skiable, but if you have old skis or snowshoes that would be a good choice.
We can do some rolling and packing with a snow mobile if we get a little
more snow, but we need at least 18" of compacted snow before we can groom
with the snow cat.

Unfortunately, this last storm did not favor the north slope trail head.
As of Saturday morning we had only received about 3-4" of new snow in the
parking lot and we are still lacking enough snow to begin our grooming
program.  The trail conditions are still very thin with lots of rocks just
underneath the little bit of snow that's out there.  We are hopeful next
weekends storm will bring more snow to the Lily Lake area.  More snow and
weather conditions are available by calling our office at 307-789-3194,
Monday-Friday 7:45-4:30.
