Course was groomed today. Unfortunately the groomer set the course over a golf cart path on the downhill portion that goes towards the ski hill. My skis stopped on the pavement and I fell. I now have another pair of rock skis. The recent snow couldn't make up for the fact that they groomed over pavement and gravel. Stick to the grassy areas!

Como has good snow cover but is not groomed. There are limited classic tracks that appear to have been set in the lighted section and others that appear to have been made by skiers skiing over other skiers tracks. The added snow we received last night was a plus. Only in some cat tracks on the west side of the trails was there any significant dirt showing. If you are careful there (and under the bridge) you will not have anything to worry about with your skis.

We have not set trails at Como yet, because we've been trying to get tree work done. Recognizing that there isn't enough frost in the ground for heavy equipment, will be opening Como with the next significant snowfall. We should be able to groom a trail once we get a couple more inches of snow. We'll maintain that trail as long as we can and try to hold all scheduled Nordic events through January 22 when tree work is scheduled to begin.

There is significant tree work that needs to happen on the Como golf course before the cross country season begins there. We know this is inconvenient for skiers, but hope we can start the work soon with the cold temperatures finally returning. For your safety please stay off the course until were able to establish a trail after the tree work is finished. Please respect that these trails are closed. We will get the trails open for you as soon as we can.
