Fantastic skiing at William O'Brien around 11am-1:00pm. Groomers just finished inside loop. Hardwood Hills Trail, Rolling Hills Savanna Trail and Prairie Overlook Trail not done when I passed through, but still skiable! Just super packed down and fast for my liking, with the big downhills. I'm not an expert skier and can't handle the steep hills:) But everything else groomed beautifully. Bet tomorrow will be great too!

Perfect blue wax day at the Park! Tracks were well set. Lots of skaters saying it was perfect conditions.

Just perfect at William O-Brien late afternoon Sunday. I did the full outer loop once classic and a second time skate, and didn't encounter any problem spots. The two downhills that sometimes give me pause were both quite manageable and fun. The best ski I've had this season.

The classic track was wonderful around the entire loop. The skating lane was re-groomed either last night or early this morning and looked fantastic. Saw a message in the snow on the last loop. See photo.

Really nice ski conditions at O'Brien this afternoon. Temps around 15, very light wind, clear skies and nicely groomed trails made for a lovely couple of hours on the trails. The tracks are in very good condition and there is adequate snow for good control on the hills. This might be the best near metro skiing in a couple of years.

Another incredible day at WOB! Groomers out before 10am. Almost all the segments were freshly groomed by the time I got on to skate ski at 10:30am. Obviously a little slow, as not packed down, but beautiful nonetheless. Nothing good waxing couldn't help out! As mentioned by many, the WOB groomers really stepping up their game and top of those glorious trails! (Classic tracks looked awesome too.).

First time back at WOB in several years. Outstanding skiing! Track was set on all the perimeter trails. Hard and almost always deep. Very good grooming! Bring your 'A' skis, no worry. Guru green provided fantastic kick!

Trails at WOB were incredible! Looks like they may have groomed yesterday at some point? Still lots of fresh corduroy available. All of the trails are packed nicely, fast, no ice. Skate skied center loop, Woodland Edge Trail, Rolling Hills Savanna Trail (amazing, not a lot of traffic on that, freshly groomed,) Wetland Trail and back to Chalet. Gorgeous out there (despite the cold). Great skiing you don't want to miss.

Best conditions in years. Skate deck looked a bit soft in places, but this is a nit pick. Classic was top notch, blue wax day, total control on hills with a fast track. Picture says it all.

Skated laps around the wetland loop. Actively grooming the new snow, so still a little soft and slow. Classic track was deep and firm for double poling. Should be set for some excellent skiing for a while.
