Trail was fair to poor. My poor wax choice - don't know if I should have used red or klister - was compounded by lots of leaf or occasionally needle debris on the trail. Track also washed out occasionally. Snow varied widely from un-metamorphosed snow, to glazed, to wet. At 35 degrees both Swix violet extra and Rex violet were too cold for adequate grip. I had every one of my classic waxes with me in the car except red that might have worked.

Did the Jensen-Visitor's Center-equestrian loop this morning. Conditions were fair to good. Fair on hills and in open/exposed areas with some glazing in the tracks and a bit icy on the hills. Fair amount of leaves blown into the East-West trails in spots. Good in wooded/shaded areas. But for mid-March, I'm not complaining.

Fair to good conditions with a decent depth to most tracks, though drifting has covered the tracks here and there. As usual a fair amount of oak leaves. A fresh grooming should improve the conditions. Great day to be at this beautiful park.

Tracks vary from slightly washed out to excellent. The two biggest hills have some berms. lots of oak leaves...very windy. Despite all this, skiing was very nice. Rode multigrade blue worked well enough.

Awesome conditions today - tracks are packed down and fast, with just a few isolated leaves that don't cause any problems.

Amazing conditions! Best in my memory. Newly set trails were firm and fast. Wax was a bit slick in the sunny parts.

Great ski this afternoon. Skied the East, South and Northern sections then back thru the middle sections of Lebanon Hills today. Found the trails to be in very good to excellent shape. Groomed just this morning but showing some wear from all the skiers taking advantage of the new snow.

Lebanon hills was awesome! Great grooming, hard packed tracks and minimal traffic once you get a k or so out from the visitors center. If you love forested classic trails this is ideal.

What a great trail system at Lebanon hills. Tracks are well set lots of people enjoying the snow. Not certain why the site lists skate skiing as an option it appears to only be classic [ Please review their maps before you ski, the west section has skate trails -- Ed. ]
