Cooper Landing Grooming Report

Icy as everywhere at the Russian. Doable but use caution. The hills are harder and falls have more consequence.

Trail Etiquitte

Think Before You Sink: Don't use the trail if you leave tracks deeper than 1 inch.
Regardless of skis, snowshoes, bike tires, or feet: trails users should float on the surface of the trail.
Breaking through the trail and leaving deep tracks by ski, tire, or foot can degrade the trail for everyone.
Avoid skating, walking, running or riding on the set classic XC ski tracks.
Avoid skiing right after groomers have groomed trails. It takes 2-4 hours for the freshly groomed trails to set up.
Hikers, bikers, snowshoers, walkers: please stay to one side.
Respect the wildlife. Enjoy watching but don't hassle them.
Fill in sitzmarks (disturbed snow left when you fall).
Downhill skiers have the right-of-way.
