Afternoon
Firsthand: Freestyle 
[ B skis ]
Conditions: Complete coverage on the Front Nine ( the part across the road from the Par 3 bldg.) - no grooming.
Very fun and way better than typical early season conditions. I skate skied for about an hour and had a great time. There is a few inches of snow and I did not see any bare spots even under the railroad bridges.

Afternoon
Firsthand: Freestyle 
[ B skis ]
Stopped by Wirth and skied the front 9. No grooming but plenty of skier activity. There is a fairly well packed trail, but it was a little rutted this afternoon. Pretty good coverage, I used rock skis but B skis probably would have been OK. I started to head south, on the connector towards Hwy 55, but it was pretty torn up and thin so I bailed out after the first 100 yards.

Afternoon
Firsthand: Freestyle 
[ Bare ground ]
Conditions: Decent coverage, very little ground showing through.
Checked out the Front 9- no grooming, Back 40-no grooming, JD Gardens- no grooming, Butler/Bog- no grooming. Two snow covered snow guns noted by the machine shed. Seems like it would be a great opportunity to roll and develop a solid base and there are nice cold temps for making snow. The skating was better (especially sections that had seen a lot of traffic), the ruts were making classic a little more difficult.

Afternoon
Firsthand: Classic 
[ B skis ]
Skied south side and JB Gardens. Good enough coverage for good skis although a bit rougher on the connecting trail. No grooming as of mid afternoon. Striding easier than skating right now, but the snow is starting to firm up.

Evening
Firsthand:  
[ Bare ground ]
Conditions: Ungroomed but excellent considering.
Skied the back 40 at sunset. Nothing groomed, but the snow is really great for skiing. Deep enough with frozen slush base that I didn't hit any dirt, sticks, or stones, but shallow enough that skate and classic are both easy. Pretty fast with a paper thin ice crust. Ride a flat ski unless you really want to test the coverage.
