Skied the man made loop. Races in the morning, but cleared out by 10:30am. Tracks were a little icy, but we got adequate kick with waxless and skin tech skis. Making snow in the tubing area.

The whole man-made loop is still open, but after yesterdays warmth and then the freeze today the trails are very icy. It was very hard to get any grip on the skate deck. The tracks were very icy and fast. You could double pole from the chalet past ski school, and almost all the way to the Bottineau house. I also didn't do the doughnut due to icy conditions. At 9am there were about 10 other skiers out and some decided it wasn't worth skiing.

The whole man-made snow loop is open. There were spots that were icy and spots were their was nice snow. I don't know the condition of the doughnut. The skating was difficult as an in experienced skier. The snow was not slushy despite warm temps. There was one team and a few families out about 12 when we were there.

Yeah! The South Donut is open. A bit soft and wet (felt like I was skiing on suction cups) but both skate deck and classical tracks in good shape. Thank you groomers.

Man-made loop was in great shape. Tracks were firm. I thought the warmer temps and a little sugar snow would be a good day to get the skin skis out. Ultimately kicked okay, but not great. They were moving snow on the last portion of the man-made loop. Would expect that to be open soon!

The skate deck and classic tracks were in excellent shape this morning. The South Donut is still not open although the big piles of snow have been knocked down and spread out some.

The man-made snow trails were in good shape. There were school meets this afternoon, but the tracks are still well defined.

Good conditions, some corn on hills, generally an awesome man-made snow loop. My first time there but would go back. Was busy for a short while but over an hour and a half we had light traffic.

Excellent conditions today on the man made loop. I skated, but a good track was set for classic too. Not too busy either. It was relatively fast too.

Snowmaking loop: Good conditions for classic and skate lane felt good also. Uphills did have some corn developing by noon. Snow was fast otherwise except for a few spots were snowmaking snow was mixing in. Still just 2K open and they were mostly only blowing snow on the downhill area.
