Skied the manmade trails (through the Frog town loop)—still in great shape! Trail was fast but not icy. Softening a little by about 1pm. Thanks groomers!

Skied north/richardson natural trail: shallow unpleasant for classic. Skate skiers blasted through the trails in jeans, jumpers, and onesies. Afternoon will make trails better for classic. Enjoy the waning days of our season!

I skied Hyland in the late afternoon, and had a fun ski on the snowmaking loops. The classic tracks were in nice shape with hardly any slipping using extra blue wax. There was definitely some wind out there in the open areas, but lots of sunshine made it more enjoyable.

I skied Hyland this morning (before 9am) and the trails were in remarkably good shape. It's a little icy around the lake, but otherwise wonderful for late March. Both classic tracks and skate deck are good shape.

Unsurprisingly, the trails were hard and icy. Leaf debris was also frequent from the wind. Skate deck was in better shape and more forgiving than the tracks, especially for striding uphill. The lake loop was very icy with snow drifts in several places. Honestly felt more like ice sailing on Hoth than skiing today with the wind.

Pretty soggy late in the afternoon. Skate decks were soft through out. Only a handful of skiers were out. Skin skiers were reporting good grip, but slow down hillls. Low lying areas (on natural trails) were showing signs of pooling.

Perfect conditions before sunrise. The snow was exquisite. All of the ice from a couple days ago is gone. Wonderful late-season ski!

Immaculate: skied all 15k of natural and manmade trails. Break out your neon spandex super suit and those long skinny race skis as we enjoy our extended season sublime days!

Classic skied around 3pm, tracks were still in great shape, skate deck looked good with only modest use. Great skiing for midafternoon!

What a great day to be out skiing in the sunshine! I skied all the trails and the tracks were pretty good everywhere. The tracks on Lake trail were breaking down but they were still skiable. Get out skiing while the skiing is good!
