It'll be open, but I'm not sure how good because it's been so windy
the snow is getting blown around -- it might be patchy. I'm going
Saturday anyway.

Update from Kuznia is below

All trails are open. They have been packed and/or groomed. Tracks
(10km) have been set on all the Stillwater Trails. In the morning
when wind subsides, we'll track the field and possibly CCC and
Hemlock. Lake has some slushy spots. Trails have a 4" to 8" snow
cover. Good late season trail conditons on a variable surface that
includes - mostly powder, some hard pack and ice. There are drifts
on upper ridges and some thin spots due to the wind moving snow to
the rigdelines. Snow is in the forecast for Friday. Hope to see you
soon!

Andre,

For me it just means not scraping the crap out of my skis on exposed rocks.
Do you get the Fahnestock updates? Paul said they got 5" of snow the other day
and things were pretty good with a few bare sports caused by the high winds.

I skied classic at Fahnestock this morning from 9 to 12 and the
conditions were quite good all over. They hadn't yet tracked the
trails next to the lake (e.g. CCC loop) but they were rolled out and
quite skiable anyway. I saw only one bare spot, toward the end of the
outer Stillwater loop where it frequently washes out. Blue wax worked
fine except for the sun-drenched south-facing spots later in the
morning. Nice packed powder prevailed because it was still well below
freezing in the morning. Might not be as good this weekend since it's
supposed to get warmer.

Possible/ quite possible that we'll get some serious snow Fri-Sat.

Gary, does Mohonk groom for skating?

Mohonk grooms everywhere for skating -- about 50k of skatable trails.
And, like at Fahnestock, the guys in charge of dong the grooming are
also good skiers.

I know this is too late, but the official email said they got 14" and the
packing was soft so they were recommending classic.
