Trails were groomed- tracks are ok, and a little shallow. There are some spots with grass sticking out, notability along the west sides of the creek. However, there are still some good sections. Have fun on the trails!

Conditions were quite decent and with exception of one easily avoided rock skiing with good skis would be just fine. Sometimes tracks are shallow or washed out but overall a skier of intermediate ability (beginners may struggle with washed out corners at bottom of hills) would have a pretty fun ski at Bagley right now. I also found a yellow headlamp on trail. Text at 218-340-6110 if it's yours.

Tracks were shallow in some areas and some debris covered the snow but overall fair conditions. Practice loops were very nice and had little use.

We got out tonight hoping to get the tracks in some better shape. The tracks are set in, but not very good in the hard compacted area. But some areas did get pretty good. Have fun skiing!

Cold weather made the hills very fast! There are tracks unlike many other city trails but be aware that there are quite a few pedestrians and dogs who have impacted the tracks. Overall fun and grateful to UMD for setting tracks AND looking forward to more snow citywide.

Bagley was holding up pretty well two days after grooming. I'd been skiing ungroomed city trails earlier this week, and it was nice to have a track. Thanks UMD!

Grooming 
[ Trails Open: All, Rock skis ]
Trail is freshly tracked and walking trail is groomed. Tracks set in really nicely, grass sticking out in a few areas, but the field is super clean with lots of lanes to practice technique! I would be especially cautious for roots in the low area by the creek. And there is a bigger grassy area coming down the hill to the Bagley pond parking lot. Hope y'all get to have some fun skiing! Hopefully a lot more snow is on the way.
