Firsthand: Classic [ Trails Open: Most, ]

Most of the trails at Essex have been packed with the Ginzu. Unfortunately on the prairie loops, the wind is creating high drifts in some places and then down to the grass in others. It's skiable but use rock skis. Trails in the woods are OK. On the east woods trail, the city plowed the walking trail just about destroying a section of the ski trail. We hope to get that taken care of early next week. Grooming plans: Once the high winds subside, we will attempt to set track.

Essex was rolled this morning after a 3 inch snowfall last night. Obviously tracks not set. Trails are rough but skiable with rock skis only. It's not great but it's the best of the season so far!
