28F, sunny, no wind. A group of us skied the classic trails along the Headwaters of the Ottertail River. The trails/tracks are nicely groomed, good flow for up and down intervals.

20F, sunny, little wind in the woods, one of the best skiing this season! Classic skied the Black Bear and Brush Cat trails! The tracks are in great condition and fast. The nice and warm weather makes a very fun skiing! Look forward to skiing the Rainbow Rendezvous on March 1.

Tracks were firm which made for a great classic ski. Did most of the hilly 10k trail. Always fun to ski these awesome trails!

-4F protected from 5 mph wind in the woods, sunny. Went out late morning for a ski on 3k classic loop and then snowshoe afterwards. The forest is beautiful, and the company is great! It's nice that others have skied in ahead of me.

Skate skiing was great at Rainbow this afternoon. The skate deck was wide, smooth and solid. Plenty of snow to work with here! The classic tracks look good so I'm coming back tomorrow.

Great groomed trails for skate and classic, 7F, sunny no wind in the woods. Went out around 12:30pm and skied the Black Bear trails, Brush Cat trials, Ridge Run, and then met Mike for another round. An inch of new snow on top of yesterday's groomed trails make a great workout. It's very beautiful. We enjoyed the outing very much!

Fantastic ski weekend on these well-groomed trails! Both classic and skate trails were in great condition. Enjoyed all the trails and the beautiful woods on afternoon and evening skis. Lots of options available, from easy to more difficult.

5* F above this morning; now 16*f above; trail base temp -10*c; average base snow depth 5".6 K loop; bucks run; rabbits trail ; cougars run; and 3k classic only trail renovated, combed, and track set. Eagles run and ridge run groomed last Saturday. Trail base is firm. Good ski rated conditions. Started this morning to groom most of trails which had a 2" fluffy white covering of snow from last week end. Cloudy skies and warming temps made for good grooming conditions. Other than a few leaves once and awhile the trails are in very good shape.

Great ski conditions. 8 F, little wind, cloudy. It's pleasant to see Rainbow trails are nicely combed for skate skiing and tracks are set for classic skiing. I went out and classic skied the 6K loop and a part of 10k loop: Black Bear trails through the Bottom of Rainbow (BoR), East JCT, Brush Cat trails, South JCT, Top of Rainbow (ToR), Wolf Run trails, back on ToR, down the S turn-Owls Run, back on Brush Cat trails, South JCT, East JCT, Deer View trails; and Eagles Run and on Ridge Run trails! Thanks Doug for grooming the trails for the weekend skiers! Rainbow trails have good terrains with flats and nice hills for fun and good workouts. It's free skiing at Rainbow this whole winter season! Happy V Day and President's Day weekend!
