At my 10:50 am start, conditions for the trail other than the spur out from the chalet and the Willow downhill was rutted, moderately wet and deep sugar. In other words pretty bad. It was mid 30's and partly sunny. The high school teams were getting off the trail by about 11:15 leaving relatively light traffic remaining.

Classic skied Wednesday and to my surprise found a nice classic track. Tonight there was none. It seemed like skate skiers have taken over.

Classic track was solid/good shape this morning. The skate deck was was fine on the north half but the south loop was turning into powder by 6:30 am.

Conditions in afternoon were slush, slush, slush. Classic track was mostly washed out. Skiers in the afternoon roughed it up quite a bit. Good workout though.

Skied Hyland this morning at 5:15am. Perfectly groomed and fast! We are so fortunate to be skiing. Thanks to Three Rivers :).

Skied Hyland this morning and the trail has held up - classic track was solid/icy and the skate deck was decent at 6:00 AM.

Slushy and soft on the climbs, not much glide on the flats. That being said, lots of people out and a great night on the snow. Still fantastic to be out and so thankful for the snowmaking and grooming that has happened!

I planned to take a rest day, but saw report from earlier this morning and decided to put my skis on. Amazing how much better the snow was this morning compared to 24 hours ago. The skate deck was firm and fast throughout the one-mile loop. There was some uphill sugar on the Star loop, but nothing like it was yesterday morning - very skiable. Thank you to the Hyland groomers and staff for the fantastic conditions!

A little more open, good conditions. Skate ski deck felt perfect. Noticed they had classic groomed all around. More people than I thought would be there.

As of 6:30 am, Hyland has a perfectly groomed 1 mile loop. The classic tracks were firm fast and plenty deep. The skate deck was really firm but felt like there was enough snow for good control.
