Some of the best ski trails in the metro area. Fantastic night skiing on their lighted trails! New in 2003, a 2.5K man-made snow loop.Trail Reports

Has not been groomed this morning. Skiable. Like crust skiing with some ruts. Should have gone canoeing.

Valley was in poor condition. There was lots of semi-frozen ruts. I could skate thru them on the flats but I exercised great caution on any downhills for fear of getting a ski stuck in one and not being able to turn. It was between 35 and 37 degrees I used FastWax Yellow LF buffed with fluoro paste. Probably my last ski of the season. The prior trail report for today had me thinking there would still be decent skiing to be had in the Cities but I did not find that to be the case.

Skate skied on the valley trail. Some dirty snow by the upper parking lot, but trails were very good. A few leaves on the outer doughnut loop, but easy to ago around them. Still plenty of snow depth. Uphill sections are not sugary and had good edge grip. It seemed to have been groomed today sometime.

I was happy to see they had groomed the Valley Trail this morning. I found the tracks to be well formed and fast. The snow was soft but no problem to ski on. Overall the trail is in good shape for late March skiing. Five or six other skiers were out between 10 and 11 a.m.

Great skiing on the valley trail yesterday and today. Tracks were slightly glazed and the track wall only broken through in a couple of spots. Thank you for the grooming this year!

Don't come out for skate skiing unless you confirm it's been groomed or the temperature warms up. Currently just has the aftermath of soft snow deep tracks that have now frozen. Fell down 3 times between parking lot and bridge before giving up and walking back. Was hopeful based on the reports yesterday.

Valley trail (man made) is the only one open. It was groomed for both skate and classic and good conditions - no bare spots or ice. Classic was fast but not icy, skate was very good. Snow is a little dirty, but definitely worth it. Thank you, groomers.

I skied the valley and northern lights. Plenty of coverage on all. The Valley was great as usual. I was surprised at how good the natural snow was on NLs. The skate lane was in good shape and not frozen. The tracks looked to be reset and generally fair to good but getting icy in many places.
