Skate deck was freshly groomed and fast. Classic track looked deep and clean. Skied the North Loop. Not heavily used; we were the second people to ski on it. I give the trail a solid 8 out 10.

Trail is picture perfect. Grooming is setting up really nicely. No debris. No dirt spots. Observed classic track set appeared more deep than shallow. Not much else to say other than get out there and keep skiing.

Grooming [ Trails Open: All, ]
|
Ski Trail - 3 to 4 inches of fresh snow. The crew had some issues with the rollers and ginzu freezing up but it's done as good as can be for today. Skate lane and tracks were set. It will probably be a bit soft today with not much set up time but its skiing. Grooming plans: The crew will go back either tonight or tomorrow morning to groom again. Fatbike - No grooming until late next week.

Freshly groomed earlier in the day. I was the second skate track out. Beautiful trail. A bit soft and poles may sink in a bit here and there. Cold weather slowed glide of course. Recommending B skis because of the possibility for hitting a hidden rock also a dirty spot on one or two uphills although easily avoidable. There is a classic track set.

Ski Trail - The guys had a bit of an issue with the Ginzu this morning so they got a late start. However, they were able to groom and track everything. One report was that the tracks were firming up. Skier also said there is some debris in the tracks so if you plan to classic ski we recommend using your B skis until we get additional snow. Skate lane should be good to go. Fatbike Trail - Not groomed.

Finally! Ski Trail - 4 of us hit the trail hard this morning with rollers and even broke out the vintage Tidd Tech. We figured there was about 8" on the trail. The freshly groomed was soft as expected, but, the trail that had some time to set was already firming up pretty well. Tonight will help it a lot. The crew at this time is planning to groom it again and set a track tomorrow. Fatbike - Not groomed.
