Very good to excellent conditions this morning on the Bardon's Peak loop. At 10am, blue kick wax was working well on the mostly untransformed snow in the tracks. Just an occasional oak leaf in the tracks (easy to lift a ski over), and just a couple of spots of boot scraping on the firm, deep, and clean tracks, with one washout in the tracks on a downhill turn.

Fantastic ski tonight! Mid-winter conditions in mid March! The track was a little glazed, but hard wax was still working. The track was a little jumbled on a couple corners and hacked up in narrow spots, but overall still good. Hopefully the groomers aren't too tired and can get out again after any new snow.

Trails were groomed yesterday. With warm temps the tracks were a little soft. Using klister covered with hard wax. Working great kicking up hills. Dusting of snow started while out there causing some icing up and slower downhills. Carrying a little scraper is so helpful! I know the trails are narrow and it takes some conscious thought, but if skaters could try to hug opposite side of the trail to help preserve the track it would be so great for those who need the track. Hope you all get out there! March skiing is amazing!

Great conditions today on what looked like grooming from yesterday. It was transformed/fast, even around 1PM with high sun, but the grooming softened things to give an edge. Some of the south facing hills were developing cream cheese conditions but not enough to damper the experience. The connector (and Upper Spirit!) is groomed if you're looking for extra distance.

Icy fast! We tried to time it out so that the sun would soften the trails but not turn everything to mush. It was skiable, but fast. The tracks were rockets!

Conditions were fast with transformed snow, but not particularly icy and with ability to take an edge on downhills. New location for me to ski, but now one of my favorites in Duluth area. Highly recommended for intermediates and above.

Great conditions at Magney today. The track was deep and firm and the skate deck was firm. Very little leaf debris today. With Magney's long uphills and long downhills it doesn't get much better or more fun then skiing Magney under bright blue skies in 20+ degree weather with perfect grooming.
