Firsthand: Classic [ Trails Open: All, ]
|
Skied the 4K, conditions were varied. Some windblown and effectively bare ice, some with good snow coverage. No bare ground. Classic tracks are in pretty rough shape. Groomers have made an attempt but the wind has worked against them. Where there is snow it's nice, not fast, but good skiing. I definitely used some classic style pseudo-skate technique on the bare ice sections. Was able to ski up all the hills without problems.

38 degrees, just before it started to rain - and conditions were absolutely fantastic for skate skiing. No ice whatsoever, easy to get an edge, no suction from the wet snow, fast and fun. Not sure how it worked out but I give a lot of credit to the groomers at Hiawatha who have kept this course going all season. It was still safe for good skis this morning, before the rain. Good coverage throughout the course for both skate and classic skiing. Such a fun little course.

Good ski conditions in the sun, skied late morning. Nice melted soft snow to ski. Skate skiied the loop. Overall good coverage a little bit of grass/dirt starting to show in small spots.

Hiawatha skate deck and multi use trails are flattened out and freshened up. It's not quite corduroy but you should be able to get an edge. The classic track appear good enough, and I don't think we would be able to reset better tracks.

Hiawatha skate deck is groomed, but the hard surface is not responding very much to the grooming. Coverage on the course is still complete with no grass or dirt showing through. Might be best to ski Hiawatha after it warms up a bit.

Most of the tracks were well made but were destroyed where the trail was slanted and on one of the hills. There was no debris in the tracks. Everything was well groomed, but the snow was definitely hard packed outside the tracks.

Groomed the ski trails on Saturday night at about 8pm. Base is very firm and should ski very well tomorrow throughout the day. Due to the cold very hard base, there are areas where the classic track is not full depth. Have a great day!

Hiawatha is freshened up! The multi use trail is groomed for our skijoring, hiking and biking friends. The skate deck is much softer now with the warmer temp and grooming. The classic track looked fine so it was not reset. MYSL has sessions at 10 and 2 on Saturdays and 10, noon and 2 on Sundays with about 90 skiers in each session.
