There is now a good amount of pack and coverage on all man-made portions, from the Star Loop and WIllow Creek through Scenic Foothills and Boulder Ridge. The skate deck is fairly even but a tad icy on the flats, with many users taking advantage of the quality snow-making. A few small sections were a bit too narrow to comfortably pass, and some of the well-worn uphills are getting a bit sugary, but all in all these are great conditions considering it's almost entirely human generated. The unworn corduroy of the teaching area proved a bit icy, but the main circuit is the best you can find in the area at present. Many thanks to the groomers, as always!

All 5k of manmade loops are open! Solid skate deck. Boulder downhill was fast and not icy. A few tracks from snowmaking on the trails. Great skiing!

Great conditions this morning with a well set and solid classic track. However, new snow had already blown into the tracks near the visitors center and in a few other spots. Deer post holing was also apparent in a few locations. The skate deck was in nice shape as well.

The trails were in excellent condition today, classic track firm but not icy - also tried out the skate deck and it was in great shape.

Fantastic conditions this morning after a couple days of relatively warm weather. The guns continue to blaze beyond Frog Town. Thank you, groomers and park staff!

Felt like the Zamboni must have recently gone by. Trails through Frog Town are open and glazed over so bring your favorite pair of ice skates or classic skis. Hard and frozen. 10/10 would recommend to a friend.

Man-made trail only, great conditions this morning at 6AM. I skate skied only, found the skate deck very firm but not icy. Classic tracks looked great per usual. 1.7M loop open. Kudos to the groomers.

Great conditions this morning at Hyland. Trails were firm and well packed. They were making more snow out towards Boulder ridge.

Excellent conditions for both classic and skate. Snow guns making snow in Foothills section. Lots of grade school racers arriving as I finished.

Mid-season conditions today and it was great skiing the Frog Town hill. Snow guns continue to blaze. Thank you, groomers, for the fabulous conditions.
