Happy Birkie! Recently, the Spooner area has received about 18 inches of new snow this past week. This afternoon, the College Street Park Trails were groomed for skating and a new track was set. The skate lane may have some soft spots and some wind blown areas but there should be plenty of coverage. Have fun!

The College Street Park ski trails were groomed for skating and a new classic track was set this past Saturday. Over the weekend, the Spooner area received about 4 inches of new snow. The trails are firm and level and have a dusting of new snow on top. Seven kilometers of trails are open and the lights are on until 9. There are a few windblown areas. Bundle up and have fun!

Groomers Vicki and Randy Larson report in that the trails at Spooner's College Street Park were groomed. The area received about 8 inches of new snow on Monday. The soccer field loop was not groomed due to deep drifts. You can still access the ski trail at the high school trailhead. Just walk up the bike trail to the first light pole. Lights are on until 9 pm each evening and the new warming house is open...have fun!

After the Spooner area received about 4-5 inches of new snow, the College Street Park Trails were groomed and tracked on Tuesday. The trails have good coverage, are level, provide very good control, and are getting plenty of use. Have a good weekend.

Vicki Larson reports in that the seven kilometers of the College Street Trails were groomed and tracked Thursday after the area received about three inches of new snow. The trails are level and have very good coverage. In addition, the city park ballfield loop was also groomed as there is a kid's race and ski instruction clinic scheduled for this Saturday (weather permitting). The lights are on until 9, bundle up and have fun!

Good to very good conditions can be found at Spooner's College Street Park. The skate trail is level with plenty of coverage. The classic trail is firm and offers good control. There are some thin spots in the track, so probably B skis for stride but A skis for skating. Lights are on until 9 pm. Bundle up and have fun.

Fair to good conditions - firm deck - but a little uneven and lumpy. Some debris but not bad. I skied every loop and they were all in similar shape.

Classic skied the full system this afternoon. Track was firm and full depth almost everywhere, and skate conditions looked good too. Some leaves and debris on the north loop between the park and the high school.

Skated the bulk of the trail system and found the skate deck to be near perfect. A few leaves on the trail in the woods, otherwise plenty of snow and the skate deck was firm. Classic tracks looked full depth. Only saw one other skier.
