Groomer was able to go out today and packed/tracked the ski trails as well as pack the multi-use trails. Very minimal debris out there and everything is in great condition!

I skate skied the north trail near the parking lot and couldn't get an edge so I quickly turned around and chose to hike a nearby road. It was too icy for me. That said, two people skiing in from different directions came in at the time I was leaving. Both of them had skied the north and south trails. They both said it was icy but the south side was better. One hill was a bit scary. But both of them seemed glad they went out.

Just got done at 2:20 pm skate skiing trails on both sides of the Gateway Trail. Some of the best conditions of the year. Rolled recently. I was the second or third skier since it was rolled. Thanks groomers!

The groomer just finished up on all of the trails. The Multi-Use has been repacked and all the ski trails have fresh track laid! There is minimal debris throughout the trails but overall everything is in really good shape. The skate deck was also freshly rolled.

2:15 pm. Just got done skate skiing both sides of the Gateway Trail. It was a great ski. South side is getting a bit compacted, and someone rode a bike down the skate trail. North side is in better shape with a bike track in only one section. I don't think the north side is as compacted. I skied the north side twice since it was in better shape. The classic tracks were in great shape.

Perfect classic track, best I've seen there in years. As other have commented they have a penchent for not setting tracks on the uphills. Otherwise a perfect afternoon stride with very little debris.

Nothing as likely to get me out the door as the promise of classic skiing on Guru green. No disappointment. Track was firm, clean, kick and release buttery soft. Skate deck looked really good as well. Best conditions I've ever skied out there!

Classic is groomed and in great shape. Skate deck looked in good shape. About 0F, no wind, and abundant sunshine. Come on out!

Fantastic skate skiing around noon! The classic tracks looked great as well. I skied north and south of the Gateway Trail. Both sides in great shape. Very little debris. I was the second or third skier on the groomed trails. Thanks groomers! Nice job!

The powerline that was down on the trail has been removed and the ski trails have great coverage and were packed and tracked this morning. Multi-Use trails were also packed today. There is minor debris in some sections but overall good conditions!
