All trails--including Ski Games across the road and JOC on the ballfield--were packed this morning. Grooming and setting track planned for midday. Expect conditions to still be a bit soft. But very scenic!

I classic skied the WC loop around 8 PM. Tracks were good throughout (but not real deep) and glazed over, so somewhat fast. Be careful on the downhills as the tracks are not always deep enough to guide your skis and the skate lane was slightly rutted in places. Skate lane was soft in most places, but was starting to firm up and glaze over. Swix blue was not grabbing very well. There were deer and other animal prints as well as ski and pole depressions all over. All in all, an enjoyable ski on a clear, starry night. Thanks groomers and park employees!

All trails--except JOC on the ballfield--packed and tracks set, including Ski Games across the road. Likely on the soft side until it sets-up a bit. Classic might be the best choice.

The Silver, Gold, Bronze and Ski Games trails were re-groomed and new tracks were set after yesterday's snow/rain mix. The World Cup trail was groomed for skate, but no tracks set on A Climb. Conditions are good for both skate and classic. With attention to a very few icy spots, good skis are fine. The conditions should be fast and firm. Enjoy.

Silver trail was groomed this morning. Lower prairie is firm and icy in spots. Upper part and back hills of Silver groomed nicely. There are small icy spots under evergreens and on south facing slopes. To avoid the icy spots in the prairie, take the cutoff at sign post #2 to the uphill. The only caution on top is the sharp left turn into the woods past sign post #12.

The classic track was in good shape. Skied the Silver and Ski Game trails and other than a little bit of debris, both in good shape. The Games trail was a bit worn for skating but still quite a few skiers out and about. We did a light dusting this morning that helped with the grip.

Bronze, silver and gold trails have new cord for skating. Existing classic tracks still in good shape except for some oak leaves and a few bare-ish spots. Only one small icy patch on first south-facing downhill along Winthrop.

Dave and I groomed all trails this morning, most of it before the temp rose above freezing. Skate lane and classic tracks are all in nice condition. Just a couple of thin spots but will cause no problems right now.

Good conditions for classic on the Ski Games trail, track was solid and intact. Started to soften in sun exposed areas on my third time around. Nice trail for working on your double poling. Hopefully will get some snow after the warmup to replenish the well maintained base. Thanks groomers for your dedication in maintaining these trails.

Skied Gold and Ski Games trails and both in good shape, but Ski Games recently groomed and a real treat. Skate deck fast and firm. Some debree from the wind but not a big deal.
