Trail Detail
Notes
The Lester-Amity trail offers 15K of varied terrain for beginner to experienced skiers through pine, aspen, and birch forests. An additional 3K circles the Lester Park Golf Course and is accessible from the main Lester-Amity Trail. The openness of the golf course offers an excellent place for beginning cross-country skiers, and several short cuts are available. There is also a 5K trail portion that is lit in the mornings and evenings.Trail Reports

Sunny, soft table but good grooming for all skiing. Debris finally covered!! Yeeha!
I used my A skis because that's all I've got.

Lester was re-groomed just after noon today, including the top section. Big thanks to the City sawyers, groomers and DXC volunteers who worked to clear the fallen trees. I used good skis but there are still a number of twigs/sticks on trail to navigate around.

Tracks are getting washed out in areas. Still groomed up to H with the only side loop groomed, the D loop. If trying to ski beyond H, it's rough for a short stretch, and then beautifully groomed for about 2K and then reverts back to deep snow with two ruts to ski in. Still pretty fun if you don't mind the uneven deep ruts. Avoid the J hill, it's the only part that has some small trees down.

The city regroomed this afternoon and the trails are resurrected. There is still a bit of debris but nothing like it was yesterday. It's still only groomed as far as H.

A little soft after groomers went through this afternoon around 2:30 pm. Debris present on outer lit loops in the form of sticks and pine needles.

Lester is only open to H-K. There is a ton of debris on several sections and all of the trail has some on it. I would not use anything better than B skis, and be prepared for them to randomly grab on you. I had a couple of tumbles as one of my skis would randomly stop. It sure is pretty out there, though.

Conditions range from good to fair. You definitely don't want to be out there with kick wax on your skis. Trails are littered with twigs and needles. The classic track is still solid in some spots, drifted over and skied in in other places. The system is only groomed as far as H.
