Surprisingly good for March! Full snow coverage, definitely some ice that may turn to slush later, but remarkably skiable and fun. Classic tracks were pretty good. Skate deck looks to be in good condition as well.

Good! Skied 1-1:30 pm. 35 degrees. Ice was thawed and just a bit of ruttiness on skate deck. No damage to skate deck from deep skate tracks. Classic track was deep and fast!

Highland 9 Hole after several loops around, turned out very good. Regroomed both skate deck and classic. Be careful there are icy spots. The end of the year is upon us get out there and rip it up.

Pretty icy at the Highland 9 this morning. I was able to find an edge on flatter terrain, but mild downhills were hard to keep control (at least for me!). I quit after half a loop. The ski deck had good coverage, but it was difficult for me to ski on.

I was out around 1pm. The grooming was still intact for both skate and classic, but it was getting very soft! I didn't have the right wax or structure for the conditions, but my dog did most of the work anyway!

Groomed up beautifully this morning after several passes of breaking the surface ice. Magic happened. Skate deck and classic are in great condition. Best skis today. Get out and enjoy it.

It's a sunny Saturday! Good snow coverage on the course. Soft skate deck, but no icy spots. Not the fastest skiing, yet enjoyable to be out! Thanks St. Paul Parks for another few days of good skiing!

Nice to have snow and have the trail open. Very soft on the skating deck, took me about twice as long to make a loop than usual. Tracks looked great. Looking forward to it setting in the next couple of days. Should be a good week of skiing.

Groomed both classic and skate deck. Lots of snow, so pretty soft. Good skiing conditions still. Should be fun for the weekend. Enjoy.

Due to the rain and warm weather the Highland -9 hole cross country ski trail will be closed until further notice.
