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!
