Volunteers just finished grooming the trails. They combed out the skate lane and left the track as it was. The snow is a bit soft, there are a few thin spots, but most of the trail should be good skiing conditions. The bikes may find the snow a bit too soft and will probably sink in a bit, so again, please stay to the side of the groomed trail opposite of the track and leave the middle open for skate skiers.

The trails have been groomed today and a new track was set. Conditions are good, snow is a bit soft. We do ask that fat tire bikes stay to the side of the trail to allow the skate skiers a flat lane.

Skated Chester Woods Wednesday. Conditions were quite variable. In places very good skiing but there are places with dirt showing through. Would not recommend using good skis. For some reason the groomer was pulling rocks to the surface. I picked 20 or so rocks off the trail, mostly on the steep hill on the southwest corner.

The multi-purpose trails have been groomed. The conditions are good. The snow is medium-firm, meaning that it is not too soft, skis won't sink in much, but walking tracks could sink a little. A classic track was also set. Fat tire bikers should refrain from riding on the track, and even possibly wait for the snow to firm up a bit (possibly overnight).
