Managed to get out just after the groomer wrapped up a pass. Plenty of snow on the ground and beautiful conditions. Classic tracks in the back section that had been previously closed were fairly soft, but I expect they'll firm up eventually. Can't wait to get out to this area again!

Was great to be able to ski all the trails at this beautiful and Hilly Park. Can do 10 mile loops without doing a loop twice. Heated-lodge and fresh corduroy. Beautiful bluebird day to ski. Climbing Herringbone hill was off camber but everything else was excellent.

Lots of new snow, 5" or more. The skate deck has been refreshed and new classic tracks laid down. Despite the windy conditions that brought down lots of twigs and branches from last Thursday, the trails are in good condition. The deck and tracks should firm up nicely, and provide skiers some fun. Special note: the trail segment that was closed, is now open.

Exceeded expectations! 95% of the tracks were clean and fun, sticks and grass and thin areas needed to be avoided on the other 5%. Great terrain. Nice lodge. Worth skiing. Carpe Skiem!

Excellent grooming, no other skiers. Some small patches of dirt, but easily avoidable in a beautiful woods.

Pleasantly surprised, but overall conditions are just fair. It appears as though it's been several days since it's been groomed, and there has been a good amount of skate and classic traffic on the segments I skied. Conditions are pretty typical of low snow. Some organic debris, and a few dirt clumps, and the occasional rock. That being said, there were many segments that were in great shape and enjoyable to ski. Certainly skiable conditions, but as I said earlier, fair.

Conditions are variable, but fair to good at Washburn. No grooming since the light snowfall yesterday. About 40% of the trails have good coverage- at times the tracks were better than the deck. Classic tracks were present on almost all trails, they were in decent condition throughout. Overall great conditions considering the amount of snow we've got! Kudos to the grooming team!

It was groomed about 2 days ago. The skate deck had good coverage. Most of the tracks looked decent. We had about 2 inches of snow since the last grooming.

With the addition of more fluffy snow today we were able to groom and set track at Washburn. For the most part the tracks turns out nicely, but in the open areas whee logging took place expect the tracks to be thinner, with some leaves, sticks, and other debris visible. We still have a small segment of trail closed. There is concern over possible damage to the newly reseeded area at Herringbone Hill, along with haul rode create during logging. Hopefully more snowfall will allow us to open that segment.

Good coverage of snow but deck had not been rolled in a while and no tracks set. Seemed like only one other skier had been here in days, which is not the norm for this gem.
