Notes

Trails are on the golf course. Some nice hills but most of the course is pretty exposed. There is one back leg that is quite shaded and seems to hold snow long after the rest of the course loses it. Rentals at the chalet.

Firsthand: Classic 
[ Trails Open: All, Good skis ]
The classic tracks just north of the clubhouse had some interesting bumps in them but other than that, the classic tracks were great. The deck was soft but well groomed so the hills were a little slow (which was nice from my perspective). There were spots that pole plants along the classic track sunk down quite a bit (I think they may have set the tracks off of where the track was). There were a few spots that you could see through the deck but the are easily avoided. I am certain that the deck will set up over the next few days. Our groomers have done an awesome job given the snow that we received less than 24 hours ago!

It has been rolled and tracked but too soft for skating. Classic tracks seemed to be holding up OK for those walking it. Needs to set overnight. Saw 4 skaters before me and all 4 breaking through on each push off. Even riding a flat ski it's possible to break through the rolled skate track. I cut my ski short to avoid more damage.

The northern part of Como was perfect. Firm and swift but not icy classic tracks. Skate deck was firm with corners a bit worn. South side saw classic tracks much more worn. No lights by the zoo. All in all great conditions.

Groomed today - wide, mostly quite good. There are two short stretches not groomed that are hard, a bit slippery and a little rough. Classic tracks looked good to excellent.

I hadn't skied at Como in years, so it was great to be out there today with so many others. The classic tracks are good. They had seen a lot of use when I started at 1:30, so there are places where the track washes out, but it is nothing bad. Skate deck looks firm. All in all, a great day to be outside skiing.

Skied the 5k loop Friday night at around 8pm. Tracks were super firm and fast, but the course was really icy from the past day's sunshine and skiers. Still enjoyable, but be careful on the downhills! I took a couple spills.

Trails had been groomed in the morning to take care of the drifts that Thursday's snow and wind brought. Lots of use during the day on Friday was evident but the trails were still solid. Tracks were good.

Conditions at Como were excellent for classic today. Great to be skiing near home again! My only complaint is that the lights by the zoo were not on, though it wasn't really a problem with the reflections from the clouds tonight. It wasn't at all crowded while I was there from 4:30 to about 7, so let's get out there and show our appreciation to the groomers!

Trails were groomed this morning. Skied classic at around noon. This could be the best condition these trails have been all season.

There is enough snow that there is a good base but the snow is very soft for skate skiing. Classic tracks were in good condition.
