I skate skied the outer and intermediate loops and they are still in very good condition with a few soft spots on the Muskellunge Loop in narrow areas. The Luge Loop needs more snow before rough areas can be smoothed and is not dragged very wide, but my skis and poles did not hit ground anywhere on the trail. Where the trail is tracked, the tracks are holding up well.

Moccasin was in great shape for classic skiing. Other than having to side step two thin spots, coverage was excellent and I used good skis. The skate deck was somewhat soft and uneven on some trail segments. The intermediate trail between I (cabin) and D was very bumpy and not tracked and I would recommend avoiding that section of trail, but all other segments were a joy to stride.

The trail was rolled yesterday afternoon and groomed and tracked today except the Luge loop which was dragged with one pass and not tracked. We received about 5 inches of snow and there are a few soft spots. In general the trail is in good to very good skiing condition.

Over the past week we have received about 3 inches of snow and the trail has been rolled twice. More snow is needed before the trail can be dragged and tracks set. Rock skis are recommended and classical skiing will be better than skate skiing. The Luge loop is closed as there is not enough snow to fill in washed out areas. All low areas are frozen and the snowshoe trail is an option for snowshoeing or hiking.
