Trails are recently groomed. Nice firm tracks. Good snow coverage, but some tracks (especially on the north side) are thin with exposed dirt/grass - that is the only reason I rated with B-Skis. Pole plants reveal hard sub-surface in places.

Nice to have some snow to work with today. The trails hadn't been groomed since the snow started, but there were quite a few folks out. They followed the old tracks and made for some very good skiing. We covered both the inner and outer loops. The far loop with the best hills was fun today.

Good tracks this afternoon. They were still a bit soft. It didn't get too warm, so conditions could be better tomorrow early. Nice ski with adequate snow. Only a few thin icy spots.

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.
