Classic tracks were set and in good shape till you got to a corner then most of them was bumpy or very clumpy and bumpy but it was white. Skate deck was fair to bumpy. We could use a lot more snow. It is what it is. Hope to have some snow left to get out Saturday.

Skated interior loops of the Maples; areas adjacent to the rifle range, and the lit loop in 33 degrees under a sunny sky. Good spring skiing encountering a range of skate deck conditions to from flat and near perfect to bumpy and clumpy. Tracks are present, but have not been reformed since Monday's snow fall. Carpe Skiem!

Should brought my classic skis! Skated the interior loops in 36 degrees, under a cloudy sky and was "rewarded" with a slow ski due to the soft conditions, while the tracks were well formed and clean. There is plenty of snow cover, let's hope for some colder temps. Carpe Skiem!

Skated the camp a little after 8 am. Skied birches twice. I would rate conditions as fair at best. There were a lot of ruts from when it was skied on during soft conditions. Trails had firmed up but had not been re-groomed leaving icy rutted conditions. I normally ski maples but I didn't want to do the downhills in these conditions. It was starting to soften up a little before leaving. Was disappointed.

Beautiful day skiing. Classic tracks were shallow but other than that, perfect day. Perfect conditions.

We tried twice to ski - skate in the morning and classic in the afternoon. Both were equally frustrating, despite the county crew's best efforts. There is full coverage and the snow is deep, but too deep to get a push on skate skis (really needs to be heavily packed down), and uneven with lots of quickly accumulating damage in the classic tracks. So many people used the trails throughout the day, with unfortunately lots of damage from snowshoers and walkers. Walkers ignored pleas to get off the groomed trail. We will try another day.

The trails were groomed yesterday, but had 2" of fresh powder from last night's snowfall. Skating was slow and the deck was very soft. The classic tracks were very good, however, and I spent as much time as possible in them. Only skating when necessary. Bottom line, take your diagonal stride skis until the trail is groomed again. It was sunny and temperature in the high 20's, so I had fun.

Great conditions on Oaks and Pine Trails as the classic trails were groomed and tracked this morning. It looked like all the trails were groomed and tracked as well as the skate lanes. Thanks groomers!

Warmer day out there, debris is starting to add up on certain trails. Did Oaks, Birch, and trips down Main St., longer endurance ski. Some debris at beginning of Oaks, clears off as you go. Could use another inch or two of snow, hopefully this week!

Skaters had fun today! Really nice skiing was found on the Oaks loops near the rifle range, as well as on the main streets and the lit loop. Fast and fun! Carpe Skiem.
