Firsthand: Freestyle 
[ Trails Open: All, Good skis ]
Track set for classic and skate side has had one recent pass with groomer. Could use a few more passes. Getting icy as the sun sets. Would recommend coming out after grooming in the late morning then leaving before sunset. Some large ice-snow balls on King trail.

Morning

Beautiful day for a ski! The groomers were still in process mid-morning. I skated King which was fine but looked like there had been heavy traffic. The downhills were fast, rutted, soft snow and someone had walked on the entire trail. The first downhill looked like it wasn't groomed but they had just started it over the crest. The groomers had started on Grimm and downhills were better, overall better condition but still soft. The classic lane looked pretty good all around except in windblown areas.

Skated Lake Trail twice. Deck well-groomed but soft. No bare spots Problem area at King Trail cutoff was finally covered; some grass tips showing, but easily skiable. Asphalt crossings were also fully covered and skiable. Classic tracks sticky (warm, sunny day).

Skied Grimm Farm and Sky. Grimm is quite nice, although icy down by the lake and in a few other spots. Sky Trail was lovely. Classic track not set on Grimm.

Skied Grimm, Lake, Sky, and Sugarbush. Grimm is mostly good except for a few bare patches at the top of the last hill. Sugarbush is good, as is sky. Lake Trail is mostly good, except for the far side of the lake (near the King cutoff) which has a lot of bare spots. The track is firm but not very smooth. I think I snowmobile went on the trails last night.

Only skied the King Trail, but I encountered many spots where a lot grass was poking through. The S turn downhill was navigable but sketchy.

The tracks were marginal. Skied in from after the Saturday snow. Washed out in a lot of areas. Went on the Lake trail. At the top of the King trail was grass and dirt, but the rest of the trail was well covered. Skate trail was freshly groomed and looked very good. I went to French after one loop of Lake.

Grimm is good for skate and has classic set but is shallow. Some grass showing outside of the woods. Snowmobile access now has a fluorescent ribbon and sign which has resulted in no snowmobile tracks on trail. Lake trail has grass showing in exposed areas but woods are great. Beautiful job grooming. No crowds!

Skated Grimm this evening. No gravel on the uphills (didn't see or feel any yesterday either), some grass poking through on the exposed hilltops and very few other spots. Overall, not too bad considering the past couple years and just great to be back on the trails here.
