Skied around sunset today. Brought my B skis but should have brought my rock skis. With the blowing snow early in the week some areas were deep and then some areas were quite windblown with grass obviously showing through. As the last trail report mentioned, there is one rocky section where the trail crosses the golf cart path. Otherwise I think everything else was tree debris although it mimicked rocks. There were also numerous "shelfs" going on and off the drifts. Overall worth a ski if you don't mind rock ski conditions.

Thanks to the groomers for going out right away this morning. Unfortunately, quite a bit of blowing and drifting has happened during the day and there are now many places where the snow is very thin, and there is exposed gravel in the usual place where the trail crosses a cart path. It was also tough going through loose snow on the skate skis. I would definitely not use your good skis - I thought I could manage and am regretting it now.

Trails look great! Nice fresh snow overnight, maybe 4-6 inches in most areas. At 6am this morning ski trails and walking trail were rolled out, so ready for action. 4k loop, and cutoffs for 2k loop and 1k loop are all rolled out. There are no classic tracks down at the moment -- hope to get those put down before Tuesday. Please note signage at the trailhead: Ski on the right hand trail, and all others (walkers, show-shoers, bikers, dogs) on the left hand trail.

No skiing due to lack of snow. In hopes of snow this week I did go up to make sure the trails are clear and to setup the directional signs. Looking forward to skiing this year once we get snow! As a reminder, and it is on the signs... Skiers on the right, all others (including dogs/skiijoring) is on the left.

Skied the Hiawatha loop this morning. I went classic, but skaters had been out. No set classic tracks of course due to lack of snow depth. Obviously, we need more snow, but I was able to get around the loop. Grass and leaves in windblown areas, especially among trees near clubhouse. Was not icy, as I expected it to be after yesterday's sunshine.

Got out and rolled the trail this afternoon. There is snow on most (75%+) of the trail, with remaining areas having snow, but grass or dirt may be poking through. We rolled out the walking path and the skiing trail; did not drop classic tracks as there is not enough snow for the groomer. Please remember: The path on the right side of the stakes is for classic and skate skiing only. No dogs, bikes or walkers on the path on the right. The path on the left side of the stakes is for walkers, bikers, snow-shoers, dog walkers, skijorers, etc. Thanks!

I skied a quick loop this morning. The parking lot was plowed curb to curb, and the trail markers are in place, but there's no trail yet. We just need a real dumping of snow to get things going at Hiawatha!
