Good. Nice solid tracks throughout, good depth, blown over in spots. Had a great time skiing these trails. The zippy downhills were a blast, definitely need some good footwork to get back in the track. Well worth the drive.

The Arboritum was beautiful with fresh tracks and wonderful scenery including the gorgeous gardens in the building. 8 miles of trails are flat to fairly hilly.

A lot of snow. Double track groomed. Beautiful. Saw a bunch of turkeys. Did the Praire trail. All trails start at sensory gardens.

Arboretum trails were glorious today: firm tracks that glided very well. Good coverage in the woods, only minor bits of debris. Also saw three pretty arrogant wild turkeys on the end of the Ridge trail. :-).

The Arboritum scores an "A" for a wonderful classic ski experience. Double tracks everywhere. We did all the trails -- 8 miles. Great conditions, a little soft in some areas but so peaceful. You have to pay a day pass there or have an annual membership.

The trails were groomed and track was set (classic only on these trails) by Richard. Good depth, ice shouldn't be a problem, soft though. I think it was the first grooming of the season.
