We classic skied the outer red and part of the green today. It was not freshly groomed and Mother Nature or the squirrels dropped more debris on the trail and in the tracks. The skate lane was in good shape, nice edge and nowhere near scary or concrete like. The classic tracks were fun and solid. We had to get out of the tracks a few more times due to debris today but still a fun ski.

We classic skied the red outer and part of the hilly green today at the Superior Municipal forest around midday in 10F temps and had surprisingly good glide! Those groomers are the best! The classic tracks were bomb proof with minimal debris except for the typical spot towards the end and under the pines on the red there was a bit more dirt and we got out of the tracks. Skate deck was fresh cord. Minimal debris and dirt all easy to get around.

We were treated to freshly groomed tracks and a nice firm freshly corded skate deck at 12:30 today! Minimal debris all easy to see and get around. We just skied the red trails today and skijored part of the Millennium. Only a skate deck on the Millennium no tracks. Passes are not yet available at NW Outlet, they are working with the city to get them. You can still get them from the city in person or online though.

I skied everything except the purple (white pine) and yellow (cedar) loops. They were rolled when I looked. The groomers were hard at work the entire time I was there making the trails nice and wide. A classic track was set on the right side of the red (red pine), blue (alder), and green (aspen) loops, with a double track at some points. There were a few bare spots but they were avoidable. The deck was soft as I was first track but it was already firming up by the end of my ski. Grateful for such an amazing ski on natural snow this time of year! Thank you groomers!

Classic skied the red and inner green trail. I used good skis but I should have used B skis. Debris in classic tracks on both trails. Inner green trail tracks were soft.

Good coverage. I didn't feel like I would have hit anything, but this early in the season I would still go with B skis. We skied the red loop, which was not groomed. There were some decent skied in tracks, though they were pretty soft.

Skied the red and blue loops. There is four inches of fresh powder on all of it. However, it was ungroomed, so there's no track set and no skate deck as of this afternoon. There is a reliable track on the red (and now blue!) after a few brave souls who are out there with the backcountry skis have set (and I struggled in with my skate skis, haha!). If you want to get in some pow and lay fresh tracks, get out there now!

The trails are in great shape after our first snow of the season. Both red loops are covered 100%, with some chunder-y spots where low spots that tend to hold water are. Everything is skiable on the red loops with no need to step around anything...there's even some "deep" snow on the larger red loop! Woohoo! Let's give it up for Superior Parks & Rec!

The trail is packed but not tracked for classical skiing. Beautiful day for skiing but I didn't have time today.
