Firsthand: Classic 
[ Trails Open: Partial, Rock skis ]
North side of the park for classic skis was broken in, likely by intrepid souls rather than a groomer. Trailhead felt like the Birkie starting line with 6 lanes, though they eventually merge and fork helter skelter by the end of the curve. Old inner loop by the big field had a fence up that at least two people saw fit to push through. One trail goes off into the woods on the very north corner that abruptly ends. Inner loop of the main two that circle the traditional route was much nicer, the one by the road faded frequently. For a mercy, the heavy foot traffic intersected a lot but never seemed to impact the improvised ski channels. Downhill portions lose their ruts, so prepare to freestyle a bit. Only a couple twigs/branches down, but many portions have less than an inch of packed snow on top of paved sidewalk, so brace your arms. South side by the golf course is not groomed for skate skiing. Lots of criss crossing traditional ski trails, though. Overall, a fun first day back at it!

Trails are not professionally groomed, but well skied-in by lots of skiers. Snow was great today until the sun came up and the temperature made things sticky.
