Kudos to the groomers! The only spots starting to soften in the sun afternoon were near the biathlon and downhill areas. I classic skied every trail multiple times and found both the skate lane and classic tracks to still be firm through the end of the day. All of the screamer hills were very easy to control at 33 degrees.

5" new snow. Pressed for time before work, but I groomed the lower trails with one pass of the Pistenbully. Also ascended the biathlon 3.3km loop, did a loop on Bittersweet, then came down the service road. Grooming plans: I'll have to get the rest (remaining Grant in Aid trails as well as the downhill portion of the biathlon 3.3km loop) this evening, and it all needs a second pass.

Powder conditions in mid-March. The truth cannot be controversial. I skated, but the tracks were also in excellent shape. Still a soft track since the last snow, so be prepared for a strenuous workout.

Great skating on new corduroy. Others were skiing classic in the firm tracks. A few sections are not groomed but fun to ski down in the fresh powder. Enjoy the excellent skiing while it lasts!

Grooming

We groomed skate lane and set track after the two day storm left 6 - 8 inches of snow and windblown drifts. Should set up nicely for the next week of skiing and biathlon race on Saturday.

The Mt. Itasca trails were groomed nicely for Junior Nationals Nordic Combine Championships. Hard packed for skate ski relay loop next to the biathlon range!

Wonderful conditions at Mt Itasca today! I started at the biathlon building, skied past the chalet, to the end of the tubing run, and climbed up Main Street. I did a loop on Bittersweet and dropped down Widow's run back to Main Street. Then, I came down the boathlon trails and skied a couple loops around the lower biathlon trails. Conditions were great the whole way!
