Skate conditions very good to excellent. Some stuff to watch out for, but freshly tilled and very nice. You could use good skis if you were careful.

The skate deck was in the best condition of the season. There are some thin spots and debris on the hills and in the pines so I would say B skis. Classic tracks were set but I noticed more debris in the tracks and several bare areas especially in Boulder Pass.

Very good conditions for classical. Three inner blue loops had very good minimal leaves in trail. A couple spots on the west side full of leaves but you can ski in skating lane.

Trails were groomed today and are in good condition overall. Track was set on most loops and is fair.

Finally snowed 6" here last night. Got to trails by noon so the trails would be groomed. No stride tracks set except for easy green loop. Skating lane minimal groomed so narrow on blue loops hard to get up a lot of the hills. Groomer did not appear to be out while I was there.

The trails were packed and are in good conditions, there was a track set on the green loop and is in good to fair condition. We will be setting track on the rest of the trail system tomorrow as the trails harden overnight.

The trail above Bear Lake is closed as is Last Thrill Hill, and avoid the brown, sandy snow on the outer loop near the gravel pit, but otherwise there is about 8-9 K of fair skate skiing. The classical tracks are faint to non-existent. A good idea would be to sharpen your pole tips first since there's about an inch of snow on top of ice.

The 1/2 inch of new snow made a big difference on the trails. Red Pine and Last Thrill are closed but we skied everything else without issue.

Standing Rocks Ski Trails were groomed today. Red Pine Run Poplar Pass and the Green loop are closed. The rest of the trails are in fair to good condition with some thin, dirty and icy spots. There is one hill on the last inner Blue loop that is difficult to ski. Skiers may wish to avoid the last inner blue loop.

The Red Trail was groomed today and in good condition wit a little ice, thin in some areas and one short hill with bare spots. First and third inner blue trails are in fair condition and were groomed late on Sunday. Red Pine Run and the second inner blue and Poplar Pass are in very poor condition. The return to the lodge on the green loop is wet and has little snow so skiers should return to the lodge area on the exit.
