&#8220;Hey Kevin &#8211; just letting you know they are in the process of grooming Grand Beach right now, 1030 am &#8211; 15 to 20 cm of new fresh powder. Skate deck is nice and flat but very soft (so much new snow to groom) probably best to wait until tomorrow morning, should firm up overnight as it’s suppose to dip to -10.&#8221;</p>

The Group Use Road has too much loose snow on it to be skiable. It needs to be groomed, or you can wait for a few days of melt and freeze for it to settle.</p>

There was some tree debris on east Aspen and Blue, where there are many evergreens, but fast (not icy), with great glide on skin skis.</p>
