Trails on the East side were rolled today. Skate deck looks good - they did not reset track. Multi-use trail was packed as well.

Eagle Point had fresh and firm corduroy. It was overcast and 14 degrees. I used FastWax Blue LF. Things seemed a little slow maybe because the temperature was near the bottom of my wax's range. Things did speed up some where the sun had produced a little moisture on the snow. Still it was nice to see the trail in as good a condition as it was.

I skied green, brown, yellow and orange and was very pleased with the conditions, I'm a beginner, so haven't skied a lot of trails, but I can't imagine they could be much better- great skiing!

It has been several years since I got out to Lake Elmo. Skiing was great. Track was shallow, soft but set on all trails. My friends said the skating was good and fast. Best thing, there was nearly 2" of new snow on the ground and still coming down as we left. Conditions should be excellent tomorrow!

Days like this are why I live in Minnesota. Skied the east-side trails; all were in amazing shape with a firm, even foundation and the falling snow creating a nice layer on top. Glide, edge, everything was great. Classic tracks looked to be in good shape, and with all the striders out, the new snow wasn't filling the tracks. A lot of happy skiers out today. Terrific grooming job, park crew!

Classic skied several trails on the east side. Tracks are good to great. Little wind and beautiful with the new snow.

Nice conditions at Lake Elmo. Skied trails on east side of road, firm skate deck and tracks looked nice throughout. No ice problems, some debris but not bad. Maybe two dirty spots, easily avoided.
