Skated all trails at noon today. Man-made snow trails were in great shape as always. Southern natural trails (Lake loop) were a bit icy but still decent. Northern natural trails (up to Nature Center) were good; barely any ice.

Stayed on man made snow section. Very nice skate deck. Was worried about ice but was pleasantly surprised. Beautiful conditions.

Skate skied at Hyland in the late morning. The man-made snow trail was in excellent condition, was very fast, and you could get a good edge. I did not ski the Boulder Ridge section, but all of the rest of the man-made was about as good as it gets. The natural snow trails, though, did not appear to be freshly groomed. The North Trail and Oak Ridge trails were skiable but the snow was a bit crunchy and uneven in some spots, but did not have significant ice sections. The Lake Trail, though, had an extended icy section on the skate deck, but was skiable as long as you stayed to the right. Did not ski the Hill Trail in light of the conditions on the Lake Trail. I used my B skis on the natural snow trails and was glad I did.

Three rivers website says natural classic trails are "good". The only way they are good is coverage; tracks are shallow and nonexistent in many spots. Tracks definitely need to be reset. There is plenty of snow so not sure why they are set so shallow. Manmade snow is good but quite icy in spots.

The skate deck was in perfect condition and fast this morning....definitely one of the fastest deck conditions of the year so far. Classic tracks were in perfect shape and fast as well, maybe a slight bit icy. I was also impressed a bus load of kids from EP high school Nordic showed up about 6:30am. Wishing them good luck in the state meet!

Excellent classic skiing on natural trails (Hill and Lake Trails)! A few oak leaves here and there but not bothersome.

Excellent conditions. Skate groomed and classic tracks for all trails including all natural trails. Very solid, no ice. Trail has been consistently the best conditions I have ever seen here for this winter. Grooming team is amazing.

Wonderful fast conditions. Tracks in fabulous shape throughout the park. It's so fun to ski all the natural trails this year. Thanks to the fantastic grooming crew at Hyland.

Skated the manmade and natural trails. Beautiful sunny day. The trails I would say were in good condition, although much icier than I expected in general. I could still get an edge everywhere but felt a little less control in many places than I'd prefer. Reasonably fast though.

Epic conditions on all trails - natural and man made snow - nice and fast with plenty of edging and not too icy. Great for skating and perfect classic tracks. Favorite ski of the season at Hyland!
