Snow and Trail Report
We got up to 42cm snow this morning so picked up 30cm in one day! We have reports that the trails were rolled last night and this morning. Do not know if they have been groomed further. Look for a report tonight.

Trail Conditions
Actually from last night... but too tired to post after the ski.
Trails have been groomed wider, they are great to skate, you can now skate without touching the classic track.
REMINDER: High school race on Friday is looking to move to Cole's Woods, so we need to keep the trails in top shape. Please do not walk on the trails, if you see anybody doing it please gently remind them not to walk on trails. We want the kids to have an excellent course.
Thanks.

Rel. Humidity: 68%
Snow Height: 16cm
Snow Type: Powder
Weather: Floodlights!
We picked up another cm snow overnight. Trails are groomed and a classic track is set. For classic be careful there are some thin spots in the tracks, for skating no issues anywhere. Lights are on in full force, just one small stretch at the end of Long Way is out. Enjoy Cole's Woods in its full glory with groomed powder snow on a firm base.

PM Trail Report
Air Temperature: -17.6C
Rel. Humidity: 70%
Snow Height: 11cm
Snow Type: Thin powder with boilerplate ice underneath
Weather: clear and coooold
Back on my feet and skis. The trails are actually nice for rock skis. There is anywhere from 2mm to 2cm of powder snow on boilerplate hard ice, depending on whether it's under a lot or little tree cover, respectively. Fortunately, all the downhills are on the more snow side so on slow rock skis, are all very doable. Classic is recommended because there is debris under the powder or melded into the ice, so some areas it is definitely lurchy. Obviously no tracks set in the hard ice, so lots of double poling, short diagonal strides, or herringbone only. If you have sharpened rollerski poles, use those. The ice was so hard, my regular snow baskets were slipping all over the place...

AM Snow Report
Air Temperature: -3.5C
Rel. Humidity: 82%
Snow Height: 10cm
Snow Type: dusting of powder on hardpack/ice
Weather: overcast
We picked up only a dusting of new snow last night, enough to make everything look great, but you don't know what's really underneath. Conditions in Cole's Woods should be ok for rock skis. Sorry, I am sick so can't go out and verify.
Best bet is, Lake George Elementry held the Queensbury Invitational races yesterday, and reports are the snow was good, so nice and groomed for skating there.
