Believe it or not, Leon Ripley and his sons laid out twenty bales of hay on the trails to cover wet and dirt spots. The hay provided an excellent soft base for...

I plan to ski in lower Fairfield County tomorrow, possibly the New Canaan CC, which is excellent (or right in Stamford or Darien if driving is really...
Please be ready to leave the Pent Road parking lot at 12 Noon sharp. Devil's Den rarely has the snow coverage needed for good XC skiing, today should be the...
Devil's Den was nice, but a little thin today. I may get out this mid-week to ski the New Canaan CC and will post here. Please post your condition reports....
Huntington was nice. A little thin. Extremely windy and cold at 3:30pm Should be nice until it warms up. There is no snow on the new dam. Totally wind blown....
