Trails were starting to get icy but was still an enjoyable ski. Some debris here and there and skied in between the tracks in extra icy spots. Would use B or rocks skis.

It's quite nice. Firm tracks and not icy or too fast. Just a bit of ice at the very beginning but I stayed in the track and was fine. Wasn't sure what to expect, but it was great.

Freshly groomed today. Very nice firm deep track. It looks like Piedmont got about 2 to 3 inches of fresh powder. There was some ice under the track in areas probably from the rain that proceeded the snow. It was 33° when I started skiing and I had excellent grip and glide on Swix VR 60. Timing is everything this time of the year and Piedmont was nearly perfect today.

Piedmont was a dream today! Solid tracks with no debris, beautiful sunshine, and many smiling faces. As the sign says, "What could be better?".

Trails are in pretty good condition. A few sticks and some tree debris here and there but easily avoidable. Tracks are in pretty good shape, washed out in a few spots.

By the time I got to Piedmont at 11 AM, it had been groomed! Skied 2 hours, nice and deep firm tracks, forgiving and somewhat slow downhills due to fresh snow. Every loop gave me less intact track on the steepest climb sections, but it's a popular trail, that's just what happens.

As of 6 am, trails are 99% drift free. Only minor debris from the wind, mostly leafs. Kinda soft but still great. Skated and did the classics loops. Tracks were in place throughout.

Piedmont has 100 percent snow coverage and has been very well used. The intersections are concrete like from use, the tracks are deep and firm, with very little debris, just a leaf here and there. Evidence of use shortly after grooming as tracks are misshapen in spots. Pole plants a mix of firm and slightly soft.

Piedmont is freshly groomed this morning. Was evidence of a car driving on the skate trail again but the groomer was there fixing it. Thankful for the city of Duluth groomers being out so early after the snow! Pictured are the freshly groomed trails and what the skate loop looked like before the groomer went over the car tracks.

We had surprisingly good conditions after the warm weather. Looks like the trails were groomed on Wednesday or so, the classic tracks were shallow but had very minimal washout. It was a little icy but was still a fun day to get out.
