Essex Park was groomed this morning. Classic tracks were in good shape so they were only touched up in a couple places. Skate deck was groomed on all trails.

It has been a few days since grooming, thus it is hard packed, with tree debris on the trails in the woods. But overall great conditions. While the hard packed snow means the footprints aren't deep, it could make it difficult for new skiers who are still learning balance and good weight transfer, otherwise consider it fast and fun. Didn't ski the classic tracks but they looked great too.

Groomed Essex park this morning for both classic and skate. Reset the classic track, first grooming over with ginzu knives, then laying down fresh track. Should be in good shape for the weekend.

Great skiing for both skate and classic. Classic tracks are firm on the whole course. Good skate deck but getting a little soft with the new snow falling. Wonderful day of classic skiing!!

Essex was freshly groomed and tracks set this morning. All trails are open. Some soft spots where there were drifts and deep snow. Should be excellent skiing for both skate and classic.

Skate deck was refreshed this morning and is in excellent shape. Tracks are solid but thin with some icy spots. Should be great skiing.

Groomed Essex for both skate and classic. Good teamwork today with the drag going first to break things up, followed by ginzu blades. Trails should be in good shape.

Trails were groomed this morning. No classic track set yet. I classic skied on the skate deck which was firm enough to work ok. More snow than I expected to see but a few bits of ice here and there (not icy sections) so B skis maybe. All in all, sun was shining and a good ski. Thanks groomers.

Groomed Essex this morning for skate only. No classic track set, waiting and hoping for good snow totals from upcoming storm. There is some debris (leaves and small sticks) in wooded areas but should be skiable. Also probably stay clear of far west wooded hill, as I lifted up the grooming knives when I noticed some thin places.
