The good news is the trail is still intact with decent coverage throughout. The bad news is the stake deck is rock-hard ice and rutted with intermittent portions of drifted snow. Until temps warm up a bit to soften the pack, you're best bet might be classic or crusty touring--that is if you're desperate to ski and Hiawatha is your only option. The shallow, rock hard classic track have some blown-in snow to gives some kick. There are no signs of recent grooming. Conditions might naturally improve over the weekend.

Skated around 6:30 pm, and after temps in the 40s all day, the slushy trail was not unexpected. Full coverage over the entire trail with only a few easily avoidable twigs here and there, so best skis are fine. A few classic skiers out, also moving slowly, but the tracks appeared to still be in fairly good shape. Many thanks to the groomers for keeping the trails in good shape under warming conditions. In mid-March, I'm happy to take slow skiing over no skiing!

Conditions still excellent. Classic tracks holding up nicely, well defined and not icy. Skate deck looked good too. Enjoy!

Trails were awesome, thank you groomers! I classiced one lap and skated two, and the skating was much easier. I picked the wrong wax for my classic lap and didn't get much grip, but my partner on fishscales had a great time, so your mileage may vary. The skate deck has full coverage except at the bottom of the hill coming down from the clubhouse.

Nice fresh grooming at Hiawatha, but it was a sticky, herky jerky go with my fish scales in the sticky snow. I am sure that waxable skis with proper temp kick wax applied would be much better!

Hiawatha is groomed with new classic tracks. The multiuse trail is also groomed. It will be a little bit soft this morning, but it's otherwise really great conditions. The classic track isn't perfect, and there are a few low spots and icy spots that are avoidable. Enjoy!
