The skate deck was soft and there were a lot of footprints in it due to people clearing debris off the trail. The spruce forest had quite a bit of fallen debris.

Had a great time on the skate loops in the morning. Trails have been packed but the skate deck is soft in sections throughout. There is some heavy drifting on the north edge of the lake along the Lake View combined section. There are also a few large ruts in some of the uphills that prevent skiing but it's otherwise awesome grooming! We got back on the classic loops after lunch and had a great time there as well, great job groomers! There is wind debris throughout and a lot needles and twigs through the Black Forest loop. Tracks are set for most of the links but a few sections of Lake View haven't yet been set. It looks like all except Carey Creek are open. Have fun out there!

Trails appeared to be packed only. No word on when they will be groomed.
