As of 5:00 pm, striding tracks were still holding together very well. Some wet spots and some glaze, but no bare spots. New skins skis worked very well, and I had no regrets about using them. Skate deck appeared to be quite solid, covered with corn snow. Glad the groomer made the effort to reset the tracks late last week; glad I was able to get out and enjoy some pretty decent spring skiing.

Skied all of the trails at Lake Elmo! Conditions has deteriorated a bit from two days ago but overall really good. The icy places are definitely avoidable and all of the downhills have been really well groom so ice isn't a concern there! Thank you groomers!

Much better than I expected after all the rain we got earlier this week. I felt the trails were groomed well enough and it was mostly fast skiing, even with the temperatures slightly above freezing. I can't wait to go again tomorrow.

The West Side trails were all packed again and have a little bit of ice but things are pretty decent still. East Side Trails are being touched up again this morning and seem to be grooming out pretty nicely. Sun exposure spots, mainly on the south side, are still a bit iced up but overall things are good/fair condition!

Trails on the Chalet side were in amazing condition. Seriously, the best it's been all year for classic and skate. I used universal klister and got perfect kick/glide with no tree debris attaching.

Excellent conditions at Lake Elmo, I skied everything except the North loop since it hadn't been recently groomed. Trails were fast but not too icy! Some great spring skiing!

Classic skied the lighted trail loop areas after 1PM. Conditions were great most everywhere! Super job by the groomers to get things back in shape after the rain earlier in the week...thank you! And a thanks to all the folks at LEPR and Washington Co. that make this happen all season long.

Trails were newly groomed for both skate and classic. Conditions were fast but not too icy, at least in the morning.

Skied east side around 11 this morning. Freshly groomed except for red 20E-26E-21E. Great skate deck. Not icy at all. Classic track re-set also looks pretty good. Thanks groomers.

They got an early start with grooming on the East side this morning and tracks have been touched up/reset. Things are still quite a bit icy out there with the weather conditions we have had and remain on the fair/poor side. Grooming plans: West Side Trails will be repacked tomorrow.
