Great day to go out with your rock skis at Theo South. I started at the Chalet lot, skied up La Squandra and then made my way around to the bridge that gets one onto the golf course. From there I skied all the way one and around Cedar Lake and back, catching a few side trails as I went. All in all, it's less snow than we had in December, but it still benefits from that tiny bit that was on the ground just a few days ago. Poles always hit pavement, but a careful skate never hit the bike path. Rocks were a different matter. If they are there you will know, and I certainly got my fair share. It's totally worth it however if you just want to be out on the natural snow trails and don't mind your skis taking one for a good cause. Technically all trails might be open but I marked it as most.

Trails are rolled and soft. We classic skied in skier-made tracks only. Definitely rock ski conditions; we hit bottom at times. Slow going but fun to be out on natural snow!
