Morning
Grooming 
[ Trails Open: All, B skis ]
All trails are open, but still snow covered from yesterday's storm. About 5-6 inches of new snow. The snow is too wet for the snowmobile groomer housed at the park, so crews will be bringing over the PistenBully groomer tomorrow.

Afternoon
Grooming 
[ Trails Open: All, B skis ]
All classic trails are groomed with tracks set and are in fair condition. It's likely we won't be able to re-groom until we receive additional 4-6 inches of additional snow. The skate trails are groomed and in good condition. Last groomed on Feb. 6.

Finally! The groomer finished up all classic and skate trails in Spring Lake Park Reserve by 10:45 AM this morning. Conditions are epic-ly excellent (of course they are!) Enjoy the pictures (perks of being a groomer).

Morning
Grooming 
[ Trails Open: Most, Rock skis ]
Groomer reported trails are in poor condition. The wooded sections are holding up a little better than the open areas; however, the number of bare spots are increasing due to the warmer temps. We will wait to groom until we receive additional snow.
