Grooming 
[ Trails Open: All, Rock skis ]
Groomed skating trails this morning. Good coverage in most places but a little more debris on the trails...mostly leaves. Skating is good. Not enough snow to reset classic tracks. The tracks are still in place but icy and a little melted off in some sections.

Morning
Firsthand: Classic 
[ Trails Open: All, Good skis ]
My first stop in The Tour of Marine was here, looking for classic tracks. Classic tracks were set and mostly good, just some vegetation poking through in places. Skating deck looked nice, little used. This area is maintained by two volunteers who live here. The grooming has been consistently good. It is a little strange skiing here because it looks like you are skiing in someones yard, well you sort of are. Make the first right as you pull in and park along the road. You will see the ski trail right before the turn. Follow the signs to where you park. The trails have new signs this year, but if you feel lost just look around for the buildings and you will find your car. The trails are narrower, and hillier than Obrien so skiing can be a little more technical. Grooming was much better here than at O'Brien.

Tracks are thin under the thick trees but all the trails are very skiable. Fun to be out with some solid classic tracks.

We had approximately 6" of new snow on Friday. Trails are groomed and classic tracks are set. Conditions look very good. Tracks may be thin in heavy forest areas.

Nice first snowfall of 7 inches. Groomer was starting to roll the trails. Nothing was tracked, but all trails were skiable. A good start!

All trails are rolled with 6+ fluffy new snow. It will take a few days to firm up. Recommend classic skiing until base firms up for skate edge. Also recommend rock skis until base firms up.
