Feb 10 - Theodore Wirth Regional Park (Minneapolis):
Afternoon[]Firsthand: Freestyle
Conditions: Man-made snow, is of course, artificially perfect. Natural snow segments have been scratched up in most places, but there are scattered dirt spots and a few icy climbs.
Skied the Twin Lake Trail, Judy loop and Hap (snowmaking) loops. Snowmaking loop is obviously fine, so the real question was the natural snow. They did a decent job scratching the surface so you can get an edge on most of the course, but its thin and hardpacked. There are a couple of icy sections, including a very icy climb along Bassett Creek (the big monster hill). I'd recommend B skis if you want to ski the natural snow, and skip the Judy loop.
