Firsthand: Freestyle [
] |
Conditions: Better with the small dusting.
The bit of snow from Wednesday night and Thursday morning made for improved conditions at Highland 9 on Thursday morning. The skate deck was nicely refreshed, and the classic tracks received just enough to cover some of the worst grassy spots.

Conditions: Still decent for skate, not as great for classic.
The skate deck was showing some grass through here and there, but I was still able to get in a good ski without getting stopped in my tracks by catching grass or dirt. Classic tracks continue to show more grass here and there and are not really skiable. Skier-made tracks are in better shape.

Conditions: Freshly groomed this morning. Skate surface in good condition with grass showing in many places, but easy to avoid. Classic tracks mostly fair to poor, it seemed like most striders were opting for skier-made tracks.
My first time at Highland this year, was the first skate skier out after the groomer, not bad at all considering the thin snow cover.

Conditions: Fair to good skating and classic.
The Highland 9 was packed and tracked today. Coverage is mostly good, but thin in areas. Tracks are good for over half of the course, but exposing bareground elsewhere. Overall decent skiing!

Conditions: Skied-in classic; grooming heading out as we left.
We enjoyed a great skied-in classic track this morning in the roughly 5 inches of new snow. The groomer was heading out with the rollers as we left.

Conditions: Poor - wet sticky snow.
Went out around 2pm. Not groomed and the snow is very sticky. Bare in spots and sticks haven't been cleared away from the fall. Really hard to get any glide. Went home after about 10 minutes.
