Skiing conditions are very good. Just groomed today after new snow last night. Classic track set on most of big loop but not set yet on connecting loop from parking area.

Trails were groomed recently. Still soft 1" to 2" covering from drifting and light snow last night, but you can still get a good glide and a very good workout. Some areas have a few sticks and such, but nothing you can't avoid easily, so you can still bring your good skis if you want. I brought B skis because it was the first time I was out there this year, and was surprised if not thrilled at how nice things were. Some of the smaller lesser used trails are not groomed, but everything that matters is:) Fairly stiff west wind heading out to to far west loop before you get some protection from the woods, so be prepared to work hard to get some heat into you at the start. Several classic skiers out as well, and they seemed to be doing well with the classic tracks that are still fairly nice.

The multi-use trails at Chester Woods Park were groomed (combed out) for the first time this season, after this mornings 7+ inch snowfall. The snow is sticky and conditions are fair. Classic track was not set.
