Firsthand: Classic [

Conditions: Almost perfect, bomb-proof tracks and firm, fast, flat and freshly tilled skate lanes. Minimal debris from the St. Paddy's heavy snow dump (>12").
It doesn't get any better than today. Snow flocks the trees, blue sky and sunshine, 30 degrees. There were some diaphanous snow curtains being released from the trees occasionally leaving a bump in the "road". There could easily be fine skiing for the next two weeks, or more.

Conditions: Nice, but timing is everything!
About as good as it get from 11-1 today, then it started to soften. Firm skate deck, but not at all icy, and great control on the downhills. Friday is forecast to be the last sub-freezing morning for a while, so start your weekend early and get it while the getting is still good.

Conditions: Fresh powder groomed on top of a bulletproof base.
As good as it gets! The fresh snow groomed up nicely, resulting in good glide despite the cold (10 degree) temps, great edging, and perfect climbing conditions.

Conditions: Excellent but slow with fresh snow.
First time at this great trail system. It looked like all the trails were groomed this morning, including setting tracks, but by the afternoon there was 2+ inches of fresh fluffy snow on top slowing it down. Wonderful deep base of packed snow, not the ice we have down south. Well worth the drive.

Conditions: Awesome, skate deck was a good foot thick, perfectly groomed, no debris.
One of the top places to ski ever, must do. 30 plus inches in the woods. A joy to ski especially the lower Nara trails section.

Conditions: Excellent. A bit soft but very deep base.
Groomed early this morning, so the new 2-3 inches of new snow on top isn't a problem. More snow in the forecast this weekend.

Conditions: Solid, fast classic tracks, usually set best of line in preparation for Sunday's racing.
Skied late morning. Very busy with skiers getting in final workouts and testing skis. Beautiful sunny morning, temps in the mid 20s. Tracks were fast but not icy - really nice.

Very good. Many volunteers did a wonderful job getting the course ready for Nationals. A few trails closed and others rerouted for the race, but good conditions. Not icy.
