Excellent conditions for skating at Como. Great base with a little snow on top. Only one pole plant throughout the course. I did expect the course to be softer, but it was perfect. Great job by the groomer this morning.

Soft and getting softer - I thought it might firm up with traffic but the structure just broke down with each lap. Still way fun!

This isn't your expected March snow - deep, dry, and fluffy. The groomer had made a pass, and was taking a second round when I finished. Skiing on the half of the trail that was ungroomed left a ski and boot hidden from sight, covered in snow, but still very skiable due to the firm base, the dry snow.

Skied as new snow was falling. Skate track has good solid base with an inch of new (as of 11am). Should be great when the new snow is rolled on top.

Good classic tracks at Como today. Also had great tracks at Phalen yesterday. Hats off to all the groomers at the St. Paul public courses. Great to have so many wonderful options to ski within a 10 minute drive.

Tracks had not been reset nor the deck rolled. That said, there had been enough traffic to keep the classic tracks open and they were surprisingly fast, deep, and well defined. The deck, even though not rolled, was quite firm. The course continues to be a joy to ski.

Classic tracks north of the bridge and clubhouse are as good as I have ever seen. They are firm and fast but not icy. The deck was freshly rolled. It was slow but still awesome. South of the bridge wasn't quite as good but still was very good.

All trails were groomed and tracked this morning. Conditions are great with a lot of base and deep tracks, enjoy!

Groomed this morning before 9am both classic and skate deck. Skate deck was very soft. The classic tracks were soft but set deep with full coverage throughout the coarse.

I started trying to skate, but found the skate deck still too soft, so I switched to classic. Overall the classic tracks were in very good condition. The "interesting" bumps just north of the chalet are still there. They make it feel like skiing on springs, but they're not difficult to contend with. The second uphill after Lexington went missing. Wonder what could have happened to it, since I saw no sign of bulldozer work to flatten it. I missed it. I do hope it is brought back on future groomings, just as I hope the trail coming out of the bowl might go all the way up to the plateau at the top again. It makes for a better cardio workout. Overall, I'm still really grateful to have Como back in service, even if it is a shorter loop than it used to be. Thanks to the groomers!
