Notes

Trails are on the golf course. Some nice hills but most of the course is pretty exposed. There is one back leg that is quite shaded and seems to hold snow long after the rest of the course loses it. Rentals at the chalet.

Some sections of classic tracks in great condition. Melting yet majority covered. Some mud spots, need to walk around grass at the top of the hill coming back from the furthest west section. After going under the bridge, sporadic grass spots in the tracks on the south flat areas. Used my skin skis as temp was rising quickly.

Thank you for a lovely ski this morning - our first time at Como in 2 years! Yes, it was slow and sticky by the end, but we didn't care! It was such a glorious time to be out. The classic tracks were down to the grass in some places, but nothing shocking. The skate deck was pretty much intact the whole way through.

Grooming

Groomed skate deck and set a classic track on about 3/4 of the trail. Sun is shining and a decent base on most of the trail. With that said there are some wind blown thin spots. Get out and enjoy winters last hurrah!

Wind blown drifts and grass rips on hilltops. But great March skiing. Rock skis on the south loop but north loop is almost good enough for good skis. Nice job groomers.

A lot of snow fell at Como today and the roll groom went pretty well. A trail was formed today and there are drifts with low areas that are wet. No classic set today. Enjoy while it lasts!

After seeing the groomer's report about Como I decided to check it out with my rock skis. I am happy to report that it was quite skiable. There were only skier-made classic tracks, but the skate deck was good enough not to unduly challenge my balance. Sure, there were bare spots at the usual places--the uphill by the chalet, coming down from the big hill by the downhill ski area, and under the bridge--but except for under the bridge it was possible to get around them. I ended up just doing loops on the north side to avoid the bridge entirely. The ungroomed snow was shallow enough that skating across it to close the loop was possible. On my last loop, when it was barely light enough to see, I noticed that the "glacier" on the north side of the ridge before the bridge, has a large flat groomed area with at least two pairs of machine made classic tracks for a hundred yards or so at the bottom of the downhill slope. That would be a good place to practice for those desperate enough to be satisfied by such a short distance. Thanks groomers! Skiing at Como spares me an hour in the car getting to Wirth, which gives me another hour to ski.

Groomed the skate deck and overall it's in decent shape. There are a few spots where grass is peeking through and a few rough spots. Get out and enjoy!

Thought skiing the glacier would keep me from the wind, but I was quickly disabused of that notion. There was a shallow skied-in classic track, which was okay but very thin in sections. The skate deck looked okay but had not been groomed today. Because it is so close to my home, I really like the Como course, but I won't return until we get more snow.
