Conditions: Groomed this morning.
Many bare spots and icy spots. Still too thin for classic tsack.

Conditions: Uneven dog park conditions.
Skated today around noon. Seems like skate deck was rolled Wednesday morning before the snow stopped, a couple inches of loose snow on top of soft deck. It's been skated in some, very lumpy. Many bare spots from blowing and sun. And lots of offleash dogs, had several run-ins with playful but unruly dogs and masters.

Conditions: Groomed Friday morning, classic track iced in.
Very icy and compacted due to weather and heavy use. Many bare spots.

Conditions: Skiable, "excellent" conditions...considering the weather. Rock skis advised. Poor, icy classic tracks, decent skate deck. Some rutted spots, some gravel.
I enjoyed 3 laps at 8am, half a lap behind the groomer, and conditions improved each lap. Only so much can be done after a 24 hour thaw of a thin base, but just enough scraping at just the right time of day resurrected the skate deck without pulling up turf, and gave this great little neighborhood trail the best chance to survive the weekend. Thank you to the mpls parks groomers.

Conditions: trail groomed with classic track Wednesday morning.
Snow pack still thin with turf showing through in some spots.

Conditions: Freshly Groomed!
The trail was freshly groomed and tracks were set. There are many thin areas and dirt and grass showing through. Snow coverage isn't great but conditions are skiable.

Conditions: Groomed this morning.
Skate deck very thin in places. Snow too shallow to refresh classic track.
