Green Rock Area - 2/28/10 from Jay Jurkowitsch went from Green Rock, up Sally Creek trail, behind Snowy Mtn Lodge; to Skinny Dip Meadows. The trail along Sally Creek is well broken, even with the 8-12" of fresh snow and Skinny Dip is in the BEST shape in years; again, about 8" of fresh snow and very few (2) tracks.
3/01/10 from Andrew Bryson Skied up Potholes to Brooklyn Lake then to Towner Lake. >From there across the highway to Libby Creek and back down Sally Creek. The snow is excellent everywhere above Green Rock !!

Chimney Park Trails:2-14-10 from Jim Robinson: Cold temperatures, clear skies, and 12 inches of new snow awaited me at the Chimney Park trailhead on Sunday morning. Unfortunately, the ski trails were groomed on Thursday while most of the new snow arrived on Friday. However, early skiers on Saturday and Sunday morning were able to make their own tracks but by Sunday noon, all trails had been skied. Ski trail conditions are excellent.
2-14-10 from Dave Perry: Conditions at Chimney Park today were marvelous. The area had 6-8 inches of fresh snow Saturday afternoon and evening. Noontime temperatures were in the high teens with full sun and no wind. There did not appear to be any recent grooming, so skating was not an option, but classic XC was perfect. The only challenge was the parking lot which, due to a lack of recent plowing, led to people parking at bizarre and inconvenient angles.
2-26-10 from Craig Rumsey (USFS Groomer): I attempted to groom Chimney Park on Thursday. Unfortunately after a series of mechanical failures I was only able get everything partially groomed. What grooming that did get done was quickly getting covered by heavy snow, accumulation unknown.
