Mooney's Bay Ski Area
Trails Skied: Stadium, Classic Loop, Glide Wax: , Grip Wax:
First thing in the morning conditions were almost identical to yesterday (no new grooming), except for the slight dusting of fresh snow. Grooming of the skate track started as I was finishing, so conditions should be great by now. Could not see if classic tracks were going to be refreshed. They are still in very good shape but shallow, so a refresh would be great, although I appreciate the lack of snow depth does not give groomers a lot of margin to play with.
Thanks for the good work!
