Blue and Red trails were in excellent shape, Green trail and gold trails had areas with lots of sticks/debris, and a few thin spots from sun melt to watch out for, but were both still in good condition. Some fat bikers apparently couldn't bother using the designated multi use trails or other nearby fat bike trails at Movil Maze and biked over a fair portion of the skate deck. Trail was firm and the bikes didn't cause a lot of rutting, but as a reminder it is unlawful to hike, bike or snowshoe on state designated grant in aid ski trails when the trails are groomed for skiing.

Great spring skiing. Trails were groomed in past day or two. Some melting. Some walking traffic near parking lots, but no significant damage yet. Beautiful day - get out and enjoy.

Blue and red trails were groomed after the recent snowfall and are in good to excellent shape. Was able to get good kick on viola klister, some areas are a little icy but still soft enough to get grip while skating. The only area to watch out for was the first km of the blue trail where the trail was pock marked by footprints from a couple of walkers who can't be bothered to walk on the designated snowshoe trails. This section will likely require new snow to repair the deep damage.

7+ inches of new fluffy snow. Gold trail has been nicely skied in by myself and a few other souls who braved the treacherous unplowed rd to the trailhead. Beautiful trails on a snow globe day! Will be interesting to see how it grooms up when the groomers get to it.

Skied the red and blue Loops. Both were in good shape. The new snow helped a lot with the icy base. Skate deck and classic tracks were well skied in on the blue trail, not as well skied in on the red. Not sure what the conditions were like on other trails, but as of Saturday the base on the North loops was thinner and depending on the blowing and drifting there may still be some thin spots to avoid on the green and gold trails. Good skis fine for red and blue. Proceed with caution on northern trails.

South Trails: Used our good skis on the South Parking lot end, the blue, red and green trails. The classic tracks were perfect, as were the skating lanes. Joy to ski them. Thanks to the groomers and track setters!

Skied from the North end by Three Island Lake. No classic tracks have been set as of yet, but skate deck was rolled on parts of the green and blue. Entire red trail was packed, but not tracked yet. Skate deck was somewhat soft. New snow filled in dips and once the tracks are set and the skate deck firms up should be awesome skiing.

Trails were in variable shape. The blue was terrific with really good coverage and nice looking classic tracks and a firm skate deck. Other trail segments had a few thin spots and there was quite a bit of debris under the pines in places. Tracks are set but are definitely shallow and classic skiers will need to watch for bare/thin spots. Skate deck is mostly in great shape. Appears most of the trails were groomed in the last day or two making for some fast and enjoyable skiing.

Crisp but enjoyable skiing in -14F weather on Sunday afternoon. Beautiful trail, especially along the river. There was about an inch of fresh snow on top of the groomed trail. Some brush poking up in places, otherwise good coverage. Surprised to run into two other groups in our short ski! Saw lots of animal tracks, including wolf. Merry Christmas.
