Morning
Firsthand: Freestyle 
[ Good skis ]
Conditions: Good for skate, fair to good for classic.
The wooded trails were in great shape, except for some damage from dog walkers and those fat bikes. (grrr). The trails out on the golf links were in excellent shape. The cold temps and sunshine made for an awesome morning of skiing. I can't recommend these trails enough. Worth the drive down from the cities.

Afternoon
Firsthand: Classic 
[ B skis ]
Conditions were quite good. I classic skied the bluff trails and there tracks were in good shape and just a little bit soft. There was very few sticks or grass peaking through. The entire trail system has been groomed for both classic and skating. Quite a few people out enjoying the fresh snow.

Grooming Secondhand 
[ Good skis ]
Conditions: Very good. 5-6" new snow rolled and packed earlier in the day with 2-3" new snow on top. The groomers will be out again tonight.
Already nicely firm for skating. I skied the lower (golf course) loop.

Afternoon
Firsthand: Freestyle Secondhand 
[ Good skis ]
Conditions: New Snow, about time! Excellent conditions. Roughly 10" fresh.
Lowlands area had been groomed earlier in the day with 2" of fresh powder on top of skate skiing area. Per local lore, going to be groomed again tonight so the upcoming week might be excellent. Did not make it to Memorial Bluff so unaware of conditions up top. Decent classic track already set on lowlands.
