Yay! Great ski. The sun softens the snow in areas, but it was wonderful. Pines trees heavy with snow.

Basically un-skiable. Terrible. Much exposed ground. Dirt, leaves. Walked at least half the track.

Recently groomed with double classic tracks through most trails. Unfortunately recent snowfall was not enough for full coverage on some corners and hills. Frequent thin patches on south and east side. Section of dirt just past bottom of last hill on outer loop could be hazardous. Conditions are pretty good on the practice loop near the nature center.

Trails in better than expected condition! Skied dragonfly and deer with very few bare areas. Worth the effort!

Double tracked for classic over most of the system. About 80-85% were in decent condition considering the limited snow depth. Need to step out of the tracks once in a while due to bits of grass a few dirt spots. Some areas are actually in excellent condition, especially the northwest section. I skied all trails except through the southwest woods.

Firsthand: Classic 
[ Trails Open: All, Rock skis ]
Skied about 1:30. As reported previously, track set on most trails. Shallow throughout. Track skied out in places, leaves, twigs, grass and dirt patches scattered throughout. Some stretches quite nice. However, I would recommend rock skis. Really never felt as cold as the thermometer indicated. Saw several families enjoying a last ski for 2017.

[ Trails Open: All, B skis ]
Trails are rolled with double tracks in most sections, single set of tracks in a few spots. Base is about 2". Tracks are shallow and washed out in some corners with the usual oak leaves and twigs in the woods. I used rock skis but you could use B skis if you step around the thin patches. Great fun to get out on natural snow! Ski rental was open today.
