Skate deck was hard and fast, nearly bulletproof but very thin. I was hitting ice with my pole plants. Grooming is still good on all trails. Definitely B skis, just need more snow.

All trails are groomed and tracked. Skate deck is firm and fast, but thin in spots. Still a couple of trouble spots, otherwise fine conditions for the red and blue inner loops. Tracks were good, thin in some spots. B skis.

The cross country ski trails have been groomed and track set on all the trails. Still recommend B skis for a few thin and icy spots. The fat tire bike trail was groomed after the drifting. The trail is firm and fast, studs not needed.

Today only the lighted sections of the trails were groomed. What I skied, both groomed and ungroomed was in very good shape. I didn't venture to the western sections of the trail system where the thin sections were reported. Grooming plans: The red and blue trails are scheduled to be groomed tonight.

Good condition close on the lighted loops and inner loops. The outer loops varied with thin bases, ok coverage, and some dirt to watch out for. Good tracks, coverage, and skiing on inner loops!

I skied the red and two inner loops of the blue at the Rock. The skate deck is firm, has little to no debris and good for 95 % of the trail system. The 5 inches of wet snow really helped. There are some thin areas and icy spots, but easily avoidable. I would say B skis because of a few patches. The tracts were set on most of the red and blue but they looked thin and worn. My rating would be fair.

Not a lot of snow but just enough to have nice classic tracks almost everywhere. B skis due to risk of hitting ice and debris. Skate deck was somewhat uneven and bumpy at places but good skis can be taken. Grooming from today or yesterday depending on sections, in good shape everywhere.

Good skiing at Standing Rocks today. All trails were groomed and tracks were set. Some thin stretches in some areas so would recommend B skis. Other than those spots the trails were in very good condition and fast.

I skated the Green, Red, and all 3 inner Blue loops. Good conditions overall. A little soft, but the downhills were plenty fast. Scattered small patches of glare ice, all avoidable.

Skied the Red and the Green loop at noon. The skate deck has been tilled/groomed this morning but not tracked. Those looked worn and in poor condition. The green skate deck was fine, the red was decent but had icy areas, very thin areas and some gouging in the middle of the deck. Caution; there are two bare spots on the far western section of the red(3.5K)/blue(5.5K) loop. I skied around the first one and walked through the second. The trail conditions sign in the lodge was accurate, B skis for sure. The blue inner loops looked good for skating.
