The Star Loop was excellent at 9:15-10:15 am. Classic skins were great. Fastest ski of the season. Fun to circle quickly and see friends in the gorgeous weather.

Great grooming and good conditions on the Star Loop this morning. Thanks to Three Rivers and the groomers for skiing us into March!

Only the Star loop was open but the snow is holding on pretty good. Good firm base that was getting sugary later on! I did try the ungroomed section and it was wonderful if you would like to break a hip!

Down to just Star Loop, but it was in nice shape! The groomers had pulled snow from a couple spots to provide a clean surface on basically all of Star. In the cloudy conditions it was holding up well, getting crunchy as things warmed up instead of slushy. I can't imagine there's much left of our season now, get there while you can! Thanks groomers!

The Star Loop is open and in amazingly good shape. The skate deck and tracks were both groomed and very good this morning. Getting mushy, but hey, it was 74F yesterday! I used the klister still on my skis from the Birkie and had good kick. The trails north of the Star Loop were not groomed and looked sketchy. It looks like Three Rivers is trying to patch snow in to make it better. Thanks for the great efforts to keep us skiing!

The Star Loop survived the weekend. The Willow Loop uphill looked dirty so I stuck to the Star Loop as did most others. Thanks Hyland and the grooming crew for a nice season.

Star Loop was groomed and in fantastic shape this morning - but the remainder of the trails appear un-groomed. So this would appear to be my season ender. Many thanks to the incredible efforts all season to the Three Rivers Hyland crew- way to salvage a tricky winter!

Skied about 2-4 p.m. Trail included extremely icy downhills in places, nice and soft corn snow in places, water running in the icy classic track in places. Skiing for die-hards only! Saw MN Youth Ski League skiers out for their last day of the season! From other trail reports, it sounds like the conditions were a lot better earlier in the day.

When starting there was a little bit of an icy crust (looked like they groomed last night). Later, of course, it got soupy and there was moderate leaf and twig debris in places. However, remarkably, the entire man made loop (didn't do double black) still has coverage. Looks like it might hang in there for a while yet. It's hard work skating given the slush.

Defying the laws of thermodynamics, groomers have made yet another amazing experience. <10% slush. No bare spots. Some leaves and debris in a few areas. Getting softer by mid morning. Overall fair to good.
