These classic trails were in great shape, especially those off the main path. It was one of those perfect days were I felt sorry for people who don't Nordic ski!

With the snow and blowing that happened yesterday trail definitely needs grooming. That being said people have done a good job of finding the tracks and cutting the trail back in. Was wonderful to be skiing in the powder. I used waxless skis and they gripped pretty good in the loose snow.

Snow was fresh 3 inches.a trail was groomed and covered. Stay in the shaded area to avoid the stickiness on bottoms. It appeared that walkers had stayed in the middle and no damage as of then.

Grooves are in good shape because they're made of ice. Tracks are fast, would avoid downhill sections unless you're really skilled. Only one spot with bare ground and leaves on trail slow you down unexpectedly. Hope we get some more snow!

Classic tracks nicely set throughout this section of Battle Creek. I was the first or second skier out today, and the tracks were quite soft (but no complaining about having gotten a lot of snow! The woods and trails were gorgeous - sun, snow draped over everything. Should be excellent conditions as the snow firms up or has a bit of ski traffic. Thanks groomers!

Did the green loop starting at 9:30 and conditions were good. The right-hand set of tracks were a little broken down but not bad; the left-hand tracks were in good shape. The snow's not deep but didn't really see any bare spots.

Skied while the snow was falling yesterday. Tracks were set and overall decent condition with a few exposed spots. Looking forward to going again after last nights snow is regroomed.

I was out by 10:30 and was surprised how good the trail was given how little snow we've had. Some ice crystallization made the track pretty fast in places. There are some small intermittent bare areas to watch for in the southeast section of the Green Loop but otherwise the conditions were good. May not be so great as sun exposure continues through the day.

Must have been there just after trails were groomed, didn't see any other ski tracks. Fresh grooves that are a little soft and down to ice and a little dirt in some areas. Overall the sections I skied have good coverage.
