East Side Trails were all regroomed this morning and things are in good condition! Minimal debris out in the more wooded sections of the trail.

Thank you for setting such nice tracks! The tracks on the East side were outstanding! I don't know how conditions could be better.

Skied both classic and skate on Prairie, Savana, and North trails. Grooming was very good and tracks set well. Was out on the trails between 9:30 and 11:00 o'clock. Very nice conditions. Thank you to the groomers for a great time.

I ski at Lake Elmo Park a lot. It's close to my house, I like the terrain and they always do a good job grooming with the minimal snow we usually have. But not today, baby! Today the groomer did an awesome job and the conditions are exceptional! Tracks were nice and deep and went down and up a lot of the hills that are fun to ride down and easy to kick up! The skate deck had enough snow and corduroy left to jump on and off on a couple tight corners. Yes, a couple sections of not quite as deep tracks where we normally see them but the conditions and the grooming are the best I think I've seen there in years! Thank you!

Trails are in pretty great condition! Tracks were set on all the East trails except the North loop and the skate deck was freshly rolled as well. West side trails were all packed this morning as well. Great day to come out skiing!

Great conditions. Freshly groomed skate and classic. Come on out! You won't be disappointed. My first time here. Green route has big downhills with classic tracks.

I took my classic skis to Lake Elmo between 3-4pm today and skied the classic tracks on what's becoming my routine ski loop, green to Brown's Pond, to the Flats, through the woods on green, then Prairie yellow to the turn-off to Savanna. The groomers did a nice job this morning with both the skate deck and classic tracks, the tracks that were missing on Savanna loop were re-tracked this morning. Night and day difference between Wednesday which was primarily an ice run and today with combination of snow yesterday and regroomed trails. My hat is off for all those doing the grooming at all Washington County parks.

Lake Elmo Park Reserve's east side ski trails were tracked this morning for classic skiing. Please note the trail section around the swim pond has not been tracked yet. With this new snowfall, trails are back in good condition. Happy skiing!

Grooming Scheduling [ Trails Open: All, ]

Yay fresh snow! The groomer rolled the East side trails this morning to prepare for a ski meet this afternoon. Race starts at 3:40pm and is expected to end around 5pm. Expect the trails/park to be busy during that time. Overall things are in fair condition but there are still some icy sections on the trail. Tracks have not been reset at this time - they will wait until the snowfall is completed to attempt to reset tracks.
