Conditions: Pretty good, about four inches of natural snow mixed in with some artificial snow to give it a great base. A couple of kilometers were groomed for skating and there was a shallow classic track set.
Skated Telemark this morning, the snow machine was running the entire time and temps were around five above. The snow was a bit slow at times but felt good to be out. Also, skiers can venture off the artificial loop and if you are careful, you can ski in about four inches of rolled trails around Telemark. The groomer was out doing the manmade loop when we were leaving...enjoy!

Conditions: Man made loop, transformed snow.
About 9/10 of a km loop with a few hills, 4 to 10" deep, edge able and smooth skating, some remnant classic trails.

Conditions: Good coverage skate and classic, two loops some hills and flats.
Due to freeze up skiing in mid morning is best.

Conditions: Man made snow loop, great skiing on a short loop.
Hard but edge-able. Fast and fun. Plenty depth and some nice hills. This should hold thru the warm weather ahead. Classic tracks perfect.

Conditions: Very impressed - fast and a big hill.
Woohoo! First trail report of the spring ...... Winter. I decided to check out the Telemark trail that CXC made and I was very impressed. It was groomed and with the cool night, very fast and hard packed. I was out there around noon when it was in the low 49s and the trail wasn't soft by any means. There is a heck of a hill on the back side so it was very painful to get up that thing! All in all, it is around a 1.5ish km trail. No rock skis needed, there were just a few brown spots but they weren't on the trail. Just a note of caution: there isn't really a natural flow of the trail so it intersects on its self 2x. The main one is on a big downhill and a flat part. Just look before crossing the path. I was there with 3 other people out there and they all seemed to be doing their own thing so it made it tricky on the downhill part.

Trail is groomed on the man made .9 K loop for both classic and skate. Universal red klister with VR 50 over the top worked well for classic.

Conditions: Very skiable for classic but no grooming.
The best skiing was actually off the manmade snow loop, and out on the trails. Early morning with colder temps skate ski was nice gliding over well mowed areas, avoiding old tracks and trail, just making my own. But some icy treacherous downhills. What was BEST was classic later, out on the telemark trails, especially the John Bauer trail, as recommended by 2 other skiers. Thanks guys for breaking trail, I added a few K more.

3pm Wednesday. Nothing groomed here at Telemark. Plenty of snow on the trails where snow was made last week but nothing has been groomed since the last snow of 3.5 inches.

Nothing groomed yet as of 11 am Tuesday on the Telemark Trails. Had about 3 inches of heavy wet snow. Snow has stopped as of 10 am. Classic skiing was good as you set your own tracks. It is a winter wonderland with no wind and trees filled with snow.
