Fresh inch of snow falling this afternoon and conditions were great, no litter, no icy spots, just smooth going. Skied the Green trail and for fun the trail behind the nature center.

Trails were freshly groomed after yesterday's snow and while the top few inches were new it was hard beneath it which sometimes made it difficult to plant a pole firmly. No litter in the tracks and just a few sticks otherwise.

Observation 
[ Trails Open: All ]
We walked the snowshoe trails and every time we crossed a X-country trail it looked in perfect condition. Grooming was recent and double tracked with a light layer of new snow. Very few tracks we saw had recently been traversed. A photo of a typical view is attached.

Afternoon
Firsthand: Freestyle 
[ Trails Open: All, Good skis ]
Dusting of light snow around noon made for slow conditions but trails were in good shape. About 3 pm the wind really picked up and threw down a lot of debris in the wooded sections and swept the new snow off the open prairie areas. Dropping temps made some areas icy and very quick, followed by slow sections of windblown drifting snow. Doing the snow dance for early next week!

Skied the Red this morning, it was awesome. See the groomers got around lots of the park yesterday. Some of the best conditions all year. Thanks to the groomers and mother nature for some new snow (not a lot ... but enough!).

Very nice skiing at Willow River. Lots of kilometers of skiing. Some leaf litter in tracks. Recommend bringing sharp scraper in your fanny pack in case you get some tree debris stuck in your kick zone. I had to remove some tree bark. Skiing over the bridge by and seeing Willow Falls for the first time was wonderful viewing. Saw groomer coming through by nature center as I was leaving park around 5 pm.

Trails were a dream. Fast and flawless. I skied every section of groomed trail twice. Now I'm tired.

The inch or so of snow that fell overnight on Sunday left the tracks almost debris free and the going was good. Skied the Purple loops and a bit across the river. Skate deck looked good and zippy too.
