Went out East Fork loop and back about 10am and the tracks were slicks almost all
the way out to EF so the middle of the trail was a perfect place. There wasn't much
sun but it was a comfortable temperature. Nice day out. Margaret

Today was a very good day for skiing in the Uintas.  New snow on the trails was nice
for grip, weather was fabulous and I didn't see anyone after the Sage Draw picnic
table. Great trip out and back. Margaret

Trails on Sunday were very good.  The new snow gave some grip and the trails had
been groomed on Thurs/Fri.
Well worth the trip.

We picked-up about 6-8" new snow over the last 48 hours and we are starting to do some mid-week grooming today in anticipation of a busy holiday weekend and expecting more snow the next several days. On a side note, for those folks who want some practice with their avalanche beacons we should have the rescue training area set-up this afternoon in the parking lot near the fee tube. Thanks-Ted.

The Lily Lake trails were in great shape today.  All were groomed Thursday and the temperature, wind and sun were just right to make for a great outing.

Sorry I did not give you a grooming update last week, we did get through
all the trail system with the snowcat and the ski conditions were quite
good over the weekend with lots of folks out. Our plans for this week  
are to try and freshen up things mid-week and see what this small storm does
near the weekend. Justin also groomed into the Ridge Yurt recently and it's in good shape for those going that direction. Thanks -Ted.

We went to the Purple Sage course today.  The conditions really were not good.  It has been too warm, windy and dry to groom or anything else.  But, we were able to find a way to stay on snow for a good work out.

Sunday was a spectacular day to be on the trails at Lily Lake.  The weather was perfect and the trails were in good shape.  There has been some traffic on the main trails to and including Sage Draw, but a lot of the system was in pristine shape.  We did the Bear Claw loop from near the yurt down the west side and it was as good as it gets.  Great fun.  Don't miss this.
