Skating done on blue trail from golf course through 9K. The trail was rolled after 9K and freshly groomed from zero through 9K. The golf course proper is excellent for skating and diagonal tracks are wind blown. In the woods, there are twig debris and undulations. Rock skis suggested after the golf course but good skis on the golf course. Pictures are from the beautiful ravine at 8.5 K and also beginners loop.

Skied the golf course and into the woods on the Green and Blue trails. The golf course is in excellent shape with a firm skate lane and nice classic tracks. In the woods the trail is bumpy with debris and sticks, classic tracks set but shallow, definitely early season conditions.

They are still working on cleaning up the low-hanging and fallen trees. Some sections are rolled but nothing fully groomed, as far as I can tell. I did some striding in the untouched snow near Sullivan Springs road, in between shaking ice and snow off of bent-over trees. They need more volunteers to help with the remaining few miles of trail, so that grooming can start.
