I'll try to keep Mt. Ashwabay conditions updated here.
3/2 Doc regroomed the Sugarbush classic trail to the tin shed this morning. I regroomed the skate lanes of Seagull, Anchor, Rollercoaster, and Telford loop.
3/1 Paul L and I went out tonight and regroomed the Jolly connector to the trailhead, including Meadow Loop and Upper Birch. Of course along the way we regroomed Sugarbush skate trail.
2/24 So far today, after about 3 inches of new snow, Paul L. used the packing drag on all the skate trails - Ashwabay and Jolly. I then groomed all the Ashwabay skate trails, Jolly Long Loop - not the connector, and South Bank Trail.
2/22 After a fair bit of traffic on the weekend, I regroomed the Ashwabay skate trails, except for rollercoaster. Should be great skiing.

2/10/10 The crew got out today to finish up most of the grooming started yesterday. Last night the Ashwabay skate trails were groomed. Today the classic only trails and all of the Jolly trails were groomed, except for Upper Birch.
2/9/10 The Mt. Ashwabay skate trails are fully groomed and ready to go. The Ashwabay classic trails, Sugarbush is tracked, the rest have been rolled. Most of the Jolly trails have been packed, but not fully groomed. We had about 8-10 inches of new snow from this last system.
2/8/10 I went ahead and regroomed the Mt. Ashwabay skate trails tonight. There was about 3 inches of new snow, and it was still snowing. It may need to be regroomed tomorrow, depending on how much more snow we get. I just figured it would help keep the base solid.
2/3/10 On Sunday or Monday, almost all the trails at Ashwabay and Jerry Jolly were regroomed. I skied a lot of it Tue. pm, there was an inch of fresh snow (came down on Tue.) on the trail, but otherwise the trails skied really well.
1/27/10 Today the crew cleared the brush and rolled the classic trails. Also, the Jolly Trail to the trailhead and Meadow loop were groomed.
1/26/10 Through this evening, we were able to get the Ashwabay skate trails fully groomed, except for Roller Coaster. Otherwise Jolly Long Loop Trail and South Bank were also groomed. Some of the classic only trails were groomed, but I didn't get a report of how far they got.
1/22/10 Last night Sugarbosh and Jolly Long skate trails were regroomed, and Upper Birch and South bank were fully regroomed.
1/20/10 Paul L. regroomed the Jolly Trailhead including Meadow Loop.
1/18/10 With a lot of skiers out on the weekend, it was time to re-groom some of the trails. Dave and I got to the Ashwabay skate trails, and Jolly Long Loop, as well as Sugarbush classic only trail.
1/11/10 John regroomed the classic only trails today. There was about 3 inches of fresh fluffy snow. It snowed about another inch of fluff, by the time I got out and regroomed the Ashwabay skate trails. Looks good, hope it doesn't get too warm.
1/8/10 There was maybe 5 inches of new fluff. Groomed early this morning with ginzu and tracked: Sugarbush/Anchor Loop, Roller coaster, Training Loop, and warm up loop.
1/4/10 The skate lanes on all the Jolly trails were regroomed today.
1/2/10 With about 3" of new snow, all the skate trails on Jolly and Ashwabay, except for Upper Birch were regroomed and tracked.
1/1/10 Yesterday the groomers groomed Upper Birch and went over most of the skate lanes with a pass of the ginzu. Most places the skating was good, with just a dusting of snow that was coming down as I skied. Deer path and Black Bear Cut-off were also groomed today.
12/30/09 Today the classic only trails were groomed at both Ashwabay and the Jolly trails. The skate lanes were regroomed on all the skate trails of both systems, except Upper Birch is still not groomed.
12/27/09 Today all the classic only trails of Ashwabay and Jerry Jolly were groomed. The Ashwabay skate trails were all groomed. The Jolly Long Loop was the only trail groomed on the Jolly skate trails. We'll try to get the rest tomorrow.
12/26/09 We are holding off on grooming until it cools off a bit. Probably this evening we'll start trying to pack the snow down.
12/23/09 Paul groomed all of the Jolly skate trails except Upper Birch yesterday.
12/22/09 After an inch of new snow and quite a bit of skiing this weekend, I regroomed the Ashwabay skate trails last night. Groomers were going to hit the Jolly trails today.
12/17/09 Mike Ginzued and tracked: Anchor loop, Jolly Long, South Bank, Upper Birch, to Jolly trailhead and Meadow Loop. Overall good to very good. There are a few thin spots out there.
12/15 Cam went out last night and groomed the Ashwabay skate trails, packing and tracking with the ginzu. I skied this afternoon in the cold, conditions were a firm base, with a dusting of new snow that fell today on the groomed trails. This made it pretty slow, but where the tracks were skied in, it was pretty good.
12/14 We got another 3 inches of new snow today! With that, this afternoon we groomed the Jolly Trails, except for Upper and Lower Birch, both packing and tracking. Also, we groomed the Telford loop. Other groomers were going out tonight to see what else they could get finished.
12/12 After 20+ inches of new snow, we are getting things packed. The Ashwabay skate trails were packed and tracked today. The Jolly Long loop is packed and tracked. The rest of the Jolly trails are rolled only, and still soft. The classic only trails at Ashwabay have all been rolled or tracked packed, the T-bar side has shallow tracks.
12/9 Snow finally came. We got from 15 to 20+ inches up at Ashwabay. Today we were able to roll Seagull, Anchor, and most of Deer Path. We'll try to get more groomed tomorrow.
10/26 This weekend it looked like we could get enough snow to roll, but not yet! Think Snow!!
