Classic skied from Downsville going north three miles and back and found the trail well groomed. There was a lot of leaf and twig debris on the trail that needs new snow to cover it up. Enjoyed the ski.

Groomed the Red Cedar from Menomonie to Downsville with two tracks from Menomonie to Irvington and one track with a wider skate lane from Irvington to Downsville. Some leaves and sticks but overall it did not look bad as the teeth of the Tidd Tech picked up a lot of the smaller stuff.

Skied from the trailhead to Irvington and back. The uber-cold snow has started to settle and firm up some, equating to a slightly faster skate deck. Lots of debris (small sticks, pine branches and leaves) have blown onto the deck, thus the recommendation of B skis. Most debris is avoidable. Some sections have drifted quite a bit and have become soft/deep.

Massive props go to the grooming crew (Bill) at the RCT today for braving the cold! 7 to 8 inches of feather-light snow was rolled all the way to Downsville as I was skiing today (around noon). It will take time for everything to settle as the trails are very soft, but overall, it was a fun skate with some glide in uber-cold conditions. 100% coverage on the entire deck--safe to use your best skis.

Two of us went out for a headlamp ski. Fresh snow (1.5-2") had covered the recent groom. Skis glided surprisingly well given the cold. Something about this snow is fast. Great coverage and depth. Looking forward to more snow. The season is shaping up nicely!

Red Cedar Trail was rolled and packed yesterday. It set up well with the cold temperatures. Snowfall was just enough to make it a good ski. A couple sticks poking through in places. Definitely a rock skis situation but fantastic for Dec 1.
