Firm classic tracks, more than a bit icy. Fast! Finished at 11:30am heading into a wind with wet mist.

Observation 
Didn't ski, but saw that the groomers were out this morning, and later in the day observed freshly set classic tracks. Plan to get out there Tuesday early.

Trails were delightful! Saw only two other skiers. The tracks were mostly good, and quite fast (except for where there were leaves in some places). Starting to ice up in spots.

Beautiful sunny morning with great snow conditions and perfectly groomed and tracked trails for classic skiing. Saw two deer on the trail but no other skiers.

Great trail conditions. All classic trails. A little blow over, but all in all. Good skiing! A good variety of smooth and rolling hills too.

The trails haven't been groomed for awhile. I saw that the west side had been groomed so I figured the east must have been also. I was wrong. The east side must be the red headed stepchild. The snow was beautiful and the weather perfect and people had made tracks to follow so it was nice.

Trail not set. Wind has covered the tracks that were set. Hovever, after I skied, there is something to follow. Snow is a nice consistancy.

Excellent - classic tracks reset this morning and in beautiful shape. Firm and lightly used, even the oak leaves weren't too bad!

Really nice skiing today. This section of Battle Creek is double tracked for classic only; tracks are well used but holding up. Limited foot traffic, more deer and dog than hiker damage. Oak leaves, of course. One of the nicest places for classic in the metro.

My friend and I were the first ones out on freshly laid track this morning and it was perfect -- weather and trail conditions. An unwitting walker with a dog had messed up the left-hand track a little along the west side of the loop, not knowing what the tracks were for until we came along. We explained and she immediately moved to the side.
