To Woodstock with Ruthie for a change of ski trails. Conditions on the golf course trails were frozen ice, no good. Frozen and bare up the hillside. The south end on Knox Meadow had enough cover from snow farming to run the tiller and that was ok for 2 km. One dirt patch and some icy intersections from heavy traffic. I crust skied the golf course on the way back to the car and that was fun skiing.

Nice to be on different terrain. I've got good conditions on the fields at home and just have to fill in washouts on the hillside to make that skiable. Would be worth it for more variety. Also time to shovel and groom Stairway to Heaven for hill work.

Around the trails with Molly. Good cover except where warm weather has thawed the ground and allowed seepage and melt.

In the fields since the woods trails have seepage and meltback along the sides. Need cold temps to freeze it up. Glad to be skiing even if it is in circles. Playing games in my head as I'm going around. Maybe try some night skiing where I won't notice the repetition.

Wet snowfall all day, couple inches accumulation. Good topping on trails in the fields, but not enough for the woods.

Gave up waiting for cold weather. Been mid 30's all week. Groomed fields and skied on packed wet granular. Ran pretty well on firm base. Couple thin patches far field, but okay.

Then down Cummings and back to see neighbor's tree cutting and bonfire.
