The multi-use at Chester Woods Park have all been combed out and track was re-set. The cold temps will harden the trail up nicely so things should be set and ready to go!

Trails were groomed this morning and were in great shape save for some hikers' tracks. Classic track intact throughout.

The multi-use trails were all combed out today after heavy use over the weekend. The classic track was left alone. The Chester Lake Trail and the Kisrow Trail were also combed out for snowshoers and hikers.

Plenty of snow cover. Soft snow plus tracks from fat tire bikes, hikers, and other skiers leads to an inconsistent, lumpy skate deck. Skiing was enjoyable, but slow. Could use a new grooming. Classic track was intact throughout.

The multi-use trails at Chester Woods Park were groomed this morning and classic track re-set. The snow was still as bit sticky and soft, but with the colder temps the track should harden up nicely. The Chester Lake Trail and the Kisrow Trail were also combed out for snowshoers, hikers and dog walkers.

Best classic tracks in the Rochester area. So far the tracks are holding up well with the warm weather. Skate deck looked good but was getting beat up by fat tires and walkers.

Very good skiing today. Skated and also hopped in the classic track regularly as both were great. Groomed Yesterday. Thanks park staff and groomers.

I skated a 5 mile loop at 11:00 am and conditions were excellent. A bit soft because it was just groomed and starting to warm up. The classic track was being reset and it looked great. Thanks to the groomer(s).

The multi-use trails were groomed today and classic track was re-set. The skate lane has been combed out and is still recovering from the warm temps, but is decent. This week will prove a bit tough again if temps remain warm. We will do our best to maintain it.

I freestyle-skied 6.5 km, then classic skied 11.5 km. The freestyle track has been recently groomed. It is somewhat uneven, however and there are also icy patches where extreme caution is needed. There is an excellent classic track over about 90% of the trail. I found classic skiing to be much more enjoyable than freestyle skiing today. One of the photos is of a fairly treacherous, shaded part of the track that is icy and very uneven. The other 2 photos are of sections of the trail where both the classic track and the skate deck are in excellent condition.
