Skied at Spirit Mountain during the Nordic Spirit 26K race which included parts of Magney through the connector. Before the race volunteers shoveled snow onto the trails to cover the few brown and especially icy spots. The tracks are getting pretty thin and eroded at this point. Overall little debris on the trails allows skiers to not really have to worry about potential damage to skis but not the best.

All Spirit Mountain ski trails are groomed and tracked. The track setter is fixed! Some dirty spots on the trail which can easily be avoided.

There are some bare spots on the descent trail and around the 10k that are getting bigger in this warm spell we're having. The ruts from the fat bike race yesterday made it tough to ski once it froze up... spent a lot of time concentrating on not turning an ankle or knee, but ended up falling once pretty good on a downhill.

Classic skied on the 3 K and part of the 10 K. Classic tracks are now set and very good. Skate deck is great. Thanks for great grooming!

The trails at Spirit are in good condition. Some dirt patchs persist but are easily avoided. The track-setter will be fixed in the next couple of days, therefore, the whole system is currently groomed for skating.
Grooming plans: A track will be groomed in tomorrow morning on all trails including the Campground loop (1.5K), 3k and 10k. Spirit Mountain Nordic Ski Trails will be closed Saturday morning from 9AM to noon for the Frosty Fat Bike race. Trails will reopen after the race is completed.

Sweet classic track Tar 5. Get your long ski in out there! Connect to Magney open and again sweet tracks.

As usual, the campground loop is in great shape, no rocks, solid classic track. Once you venture out further expect to find very twiggy and bumpy trails with an occasional rock popping through. I skied the 3k and most of the 10k, and the 3k was generally much more even with less obstacles poking through. I would say most of the trail system is on the edge of B skis and rock skis. Unless you want to do endless loops of the campground, I would venture elsewhere.

Spirit Nordic Center's 3k and campground loops are groomed and open. The campground has a shallow classic track. The trails were a bit soft but coverage was better than I expected. B skis could be used on the 3k but the campground would be better to use rock skis on due to the softer track.
