Conditions: Ok, but going south fast.
Lots of brown showing up off the man-made loop, wouldn't recommend skiing. The man made loop is still ok but with more debris in the icy crud now with red groomer fluids, sticks and generally tired and dirty, old man-made snow. I'm ready for something fresh but that's looking doubtful...Ugg.

Conditions: Poor, classic tracks are worn down. Skiable but choppy.
Manmade loop is skiable, but not great. Classic tracks are all but gone and what remains is quite a bit of crystalized powder. Pretty much what you would expect after a warm spell. Front nine looked patchy with grass. Rock skis are recommended.

(Anne Pilmonas)

Conditions: Manmade loop was in Excellent condition for classic and skate.
Classic skied noon to 2 pm. Nice deep tracks. Not icy and surprisingly fast considering how warm it was.

(Dan Zenk)

Conditions: B-skis for Back 40 and Front 9; man-made loop in good condition.
Lots of leaves and sticks on the Back 40 with grass showing through in spots on the front 9 left me wishing I brought my B-skis. Man-made loop is in good shape.

Conditions: Manmade loop was great.
Classic skied the 3k loop Thursday night. The tracks were well skied and at moderate depth, though many of the uphills lacked a track (or were washed out). Uphills were a little loose--only the short steep hill had turned to mashed potatoes.

Conditions: 35F at 2:30Pm. Classic tracks on man-made loop are great; skate deck is even wider in places; steep uphills still have good coverage and transformed snow (rather than ice). Klister conditions.
Those beautiful ice-covered trees on the snowmaking loop are starting to bear fruit in the form of giant clumps of ice. Some of those clumps, unfortunately, end up on the track. Thanks to a number of folks who were stopping to clear the fallen ice, but if you go out in the warmer weather, be aware.

Conditions: JD Rivers - Fair, Wirth Lake - Fair to Good.
Wirth Lake coverage was pretty good--just some weeds on and off the lake to really worry about. About 1-2" of hard packed snow on top of the pavement. JD Rivers was much thinner--I didn't venture too far to do a detailed look. Lots of boot prints all over the packed trails.

(Adrian Swanson)

Conditions: Excellent on the 3km of snowmaking loop.
Skated this evening. It was a tad slow going in places with the freshest snow. Skate deck is wide, firm, and flat across the majority of the 3km loop. The classic track looked good.

(Ben Mullin)

Conditions: 4F, classic tracks very good (skate deck looked very good as well).
Skied at 2:00 pm today on the newly extended man-made loop. My GPS read 3K. It's a nice track, and some of the trees that were cloaked with snow by the snow guns are really beautiful.

(Michael Kuhne)

Conditions: Quaking Bog: Fair for classic.
Watch out for the manhole cover right in the middle of the trail on the flat section of the trail (the return). Easy to miss if you're not paying close attention. Painting it red or yellow would make it much more visible.
