Looking ahead to the forecast of lots of snow coming. Does anyone know if cxc will be grooming if the forecast bears fruit?

Went up to Cable and skied a couple laps on the 10km Birkie loops. Trail in the woods the first 5km were perfectly groomed with still about a foot of base in most areas-once you got into the golf course area trail became a bit icy with about a half inch of real snow on …

What little was left of the snow is now a solid chunk of ice. It's worth noting that even during this warmest winter on record, the mound was skiable for about 8 weeks, providing better conditions than trails hundreds of miles to our north.

Stopped in at cxc to check conditions. Found the only snow left is the hill along the powerlines and still plenty of it there. Wednesday looks really cold -enough to make more snow.

The ski trails are open to hikers now, so combined with the heat, the trails have been predictably trashed. Rock skis only. You'll have to walk a ways from the trailhead to find "skiable snow". The Willow Spring Trail (green) and part of Flint Rock (red) are technically skiable, but it's mostly thin, super compacted …
Elver Park
The Elver Park glacier still holding a decent base on the upper sections of the lighted trail. There’s about 200 meters of skiable snow, enough for a couple of quick “pick ups” before the trip to Cable. Only for the hardest of the hardcores.

Surprising amount of snow at BM. Skate skied the red and green loops but did back track at the downhill into campground where it was coned off. Mostly good cover uneven with twigs and debris- some small patches of ice. B skis for sure. Afterwards did drive over to campground -had snowcover but did not …

Conditions mostly good, some thin spots that warrant fair. Bring B skis, but rock skis not required. Trail report from 2/16 still accurate – can skate or classic (no tracks) anything on the north side without any notable thin spots, but need to walk flint rock trail down to campground. Campground has mostly good coverage …

BMSP staff have been doing an excellent job at grooming over the last week. I skied the yellow and green loops, in addition to the recommended out-and-back to the campground hill. Flats and downhills were a bit firm, steep uphills were a bit soft. Few footprints for once. The green loop is in great condition, …
