Skate skied the three loops this evening with my headlamp. Trails were decent overall considering the amount of snow the groomers have to work with. Grass showing in a several spots at the tops of hills and debris here and there. Main issues to note are near the NE corner of the course, near the radio tower, there is an area where the trails is obliterated by truck/tractor tracks (tree trimming?), there is debris on the trail and it's challenging finding the trail on the other side in the dark. Throughout the course some truck/ tractor appears to have driven across the deck in multiple locations. A few spots where my poles hit pavement. Overall pretty solid for the snow levels, hopefully a bit more snow and more grooming and it will be in solid shape.

Skied all three loops this morning twice, good coverage for skate, no classic track set yet. Very few sticks/grass spots poking through. B ski territory.

Lots of folks out making their own trails. We saw crew at around 4pm who said they were going to start grooming soon.

Took my old wide Peltonen no wax skis to check out the snow at the U of M golf course at sunrise this morning. Very good crust skiing throughout the course, if you are willing to pick your way across some thin areas. Skied for nearly 90 minutes and did not have to take off the skis at all. Today's warm up may be problematic, but it may be worth a look tomorrow morning again.
