Open but not skatable. Plenty of snow but no grooming. Classic should work, as skiers have etched in a set of tracks.

Really disappointed that the trails had not been packed 20 hours after most of the snow had stopped, particularly after I just purchased my season pass. Some tracked vehicle had been out on Savanna but seemed like it just drove around without packing. As a result of the lack of grooming, it was a struggle to skate at all. I could only manage a 2.8 mph pace over 1.7 miles. I used FastWax yellow LF. Hopefully, things will be groomed by tomorrow.

No grooming, though there are equipment tracks on some of the trails. It was a beautiful ski in user made tracks with gorgeously flocked trees. There was plenty of snow almost everywhere. I only suggest B skis for a couple of places where the equipment tracks stirred something up or left shallow coverage.

Not groomed for skate or classic skiing. Skating was not an option. Some slushy spots in low areas.

Reasonable coverage in most areas. Top of the "Barn Climb" was totally burned off. Practice area is very good. The rest of the place is "skied out", heavily packed by lots of skiers. Very firm, butt temps in the upper 20's made it skiable. HS skiers were arriving as I left. Lots of debris. The best areas are on the non-lighted trails. The loop up by the gun range had the best snow. Used B skis and was on constant alert and in lane change mode.

The 1/2" of snow we got Friday night really helped. Skied east side trails only. 90% of the trails are good, In the more open areas, it is a hard pack, but in the wooded and protected sections the new snow covered up some of the leaves. There is one spot where you really need to walk around and that is the top of the Barn Hill, all other thinner areas can be skied around. There are no classic tracks as the base is still very thin.

Grooming [ Trails Open: All, ]

A cleanup groom from yesterday's high use was done this morning. Trails were repacked and rolled for skate skiing. There are some bare spots with minor debris, leaving the trails in fair to poor condition in some areas. The base is too thin to lay classic track.
