Snow was fresh 3 inches.a trail was groomed and covered. Stay in the shaded area to avoid the stickiness on bottoms. It appeared that walkers had stayed in the middle and no damage as of then.

Grooves are in good shape because they're made of ice. Tracks are fast, would avoid downhill sections unless you're really skilled. Only one spot with bare ground and leaves on trail slow you down unexpectedly. Hope we get some more snow!

This was the snow we have been waiting for. Classic tracks have been set on all the loops. With all the snow it was a little soft in spite. All in all, it was wonderful.

Classic tracks nicely set throughout this section of Battle Creek. I was the first or second skier out today, and the tracks were quite soft (but no complaining about having gotten a lot of snow! The woods and trails were gorgeous - sun, snow draped over everything. Should be excellent conditions as the snow firms up or has a bit of ski traffic. Thanks groomers!

Did the green loop starting at 9:30 and conditions were good. The right-hand set of tracks were a little broken down but not bad; the left-hand tracks were in good shape. The snow's not deep but didn't really see any bare spots.

Skied while the snow was falling yesterday. Tracks were set and overall decent condition with a few exposed spots. Looking forward to going again after last nights snow is regroomed.

I was out by 10:30 and was surprised how good the trail was given how little snow we've had. Some ice crystallization made the track pretty fast in places. There are some small intermittent bare areas to watch for in the southeast section of the Green Loop but otherwise the conditions were good. May not be so great as sun exposure continues through the day.

Must have been there just after trails were groomed, didn't see any other ski tracks. Fresh grooves that are a little soft and down to ice and a little dirt in some areas. Overall the sections I skied have good coverage.

Classic tracks have been set. Skiing was good but a little icy where the wind had blown some of the new snow away.

Good coverage overall, few thinner and dirty spots under the trees. Skied all the sections and trail is primo right now.
