All trails have been rolled, no track as of 1 PM. We received approximately 15 inches of new snow. It should set up nicely.

Perfect conditions. No bare spots. No debris in tracks. Much more kick than expected for such cold temperatures. There were a few other cars in lot.

I skate skied the purple and brown trails late Thursday morning. The trails are well covered with snow, with only a few areas with leaves sticking out. The trail had about one inch of light snow over the groomed base. Overall, it was fairly soft. The classic track looked good in almost all spots; with only a few thin spots, especially under evergreen trees. A light snow was falling as I skied.

Finally Greenbush has a good snow cover. The trails are groomed and tracked and I would classify the trail conditions as very good. You might encounter some leaves on the trail, mostly on the classical track, but I felt very comfortable using my good classic skis.

Firsthand: Freestyle 
[ Rock skis ]
All trails rolled since 4" of snow on Friday night / Saturday morning, there was a thin ice base on entire system and the rolled snow was adhering to the ice surprising well. Skied all trails, brown, red, and purple to green to purple were surprisingly good, if you do not mind some debris. Rock skis recommended.

Complete system is rolled, much better classic then skate. Ride a flat ski downhill or be prepared to launch.

Secondhand 
The trails are currently too treacherous to ski on safely thanks to all of the rain received 10 days ago. However, per my observation from the parking lot and that of a regular marsh hiker, all of the trails appear to be covered with a hard crust and ice base. This will provide a base for the next snow accumulation.

Enjoyed skiing all loops using skate skis and backcountry classic skis. Snow cover remains even after Saturday's warmth. Be cautious Sunday after freezing temperatures Saturday night.

Lots of snow at Greenbush: 4-5 inches fell Tuesday, then another two last night. All trails groomed. Still soft in places and the surface is uneven, but I would rate the skating good. I used B skis but saw no rocks. No classic tracks yet. Scenery spectacular as every branch and twig was coated white.
