Skate skied in 2-3 inches of fresh snow over a firm base that was packed but not tracked on Wednesday. Despite what was reported the multi-use trails had not been packed on Wednesday. They were still covered in a foot of fresh snow (snow shoed them yesterday). Lots of foot traffic but I can't call them out because the trails had not been rolled by 1pm. Enjoyable skate, plenty fast, but getting slower as I encountered more foot traffic. Several trees/branched down across trail. Removed what I could budge.

Multi-Use and Ski Trails have been packed/rolled this morning. There is a powerline down across the trail on the North side of the Gateway. Xcel and the Parks are working to fix this but this section has been temporarily coned off. Overall, everything else is in fair condition.

Horses and people walking continue to chop up the main ski trails. Therefore, they are in rough shape due to tracks, debris and ice. Use your B skis, overall fair/poor conditions except for open fields which are very nice.

Good conditions with well packed trail for classic. A lttle debris on trails but easily avoidable. Did the two mile yellow trail and highly recommend. Beautiful scenery with frosted trees and mature pines. Love this Park. Oh, and the horse hoof prints previously reported not a big deal on this trail.

Conditions are mostly pretty good, but the trail on the east side of the park had hoofprints. That's right, someone had ridden a horse right down the middle of the ski trail. So there were divots and chunks of packed snow the size of a horse's hoof all along the trail. There was no horse damage west of the Gateway Trail. The classic tracks there were fair; good coverage, but icy and a lot of litter. The skate trail was in a little bit better condition, but plan on dodging a lot of twigs. I would recommend B skis.

Super icy conditions in the pines/forested areas and a fair amount of debris. Someone rode a horse on many of the trails leaving icy and uneven areas.

Trails were freshly groomed! Ski trails were packed and tracked and the multi-use trails were packed as well. Overall everything was in good condition.

All Pine Point Ski Trails and Multi-use trails were packed and we attempted to lay track. There is some tree debris on the trails due to the high winds and a lot of snow drift as well. Overall things are in fair condition.

The trails have been packed for skate skiing and the trails are in fair/poor condition. Due to the winds it is a little thin in some areas. No tracks set yet due to expected snow drift. We are hopeful to set track once windspeeds die down.

Fair condition for skate deck. Lots of debris and a few bare spots. B skis are in order. Sticky and slow today and no tracks set yet.
