5 k loop appeared to have been ridden over by snowmobiles pulling something that seems like a groomer. Uneven, lots of different planes, soft, no track. I believe will take a lot more snow to make skating even remotely possible. Outer loops gates are closed. There is a sign at the trailhead that says "Open. Ungroomed " next to where the kind of grooming gear had been driven on the trail. Mystery Hanrehan 2022. Beautiful day out there.

Knob Trail: A first pass of grooming done, good coverage except for a few rough spots at the end. Not enough for a classic track yet. Would be pretty soft for skating, did not see any tracks. Beautiful early season stuff. Kettle and Razorback: Gates locked. Some snowshoe tracks or break your own, beautiful. Trailhead shelter closed, but outhouses available.
