My first time this year at one of my favorite Twin Ports ski trails. Snow coverage is decent but certainly less snow than over the hill in Duluth. Fresh grooming, of course, as we have come to expect and appreciate at SMF. Red, green, blue, a portion of the field part of purple (to yellow snowmobile trail connector and to purple connector but not the back part of field purple), purple connector and flat part of yellow are all groomed since yesterday's snow. Purple connector was soft but the rest was great, albeit slow with cold fresh snow. B skis due to some dirty areas/thin areas in the usual spots but coverage would allow good skis with care. Thanks SMF for great trails again. Better late than never...

We classic and skate skied the red loop at the Superior Municipal forest today. The skate lane had an inch or two of fluff on top and the classic tracks were skied in, no new Saturday grooming. Debris free tracks and great glide today!

There's classic track laid on the red and green. The skate deck is soft. Coverage is good. The recent high winds barely put and debris on the red and green trails. Get out here and ski!

Classic skied a quick loop at dusk. Trails had been groomed and in decent shape. Still could use a bit more snow.

I skate skied SMF this afternoon. I skied the Advanced Yellow and Purple trails. I started at the 42nd St. parking lot. Conditions were great on the yellow trail, especially the flat, straight stretch! The big hills, on the other side of the yellow trail, were good, too. There was plenty of snow. The purple trail was skiable, but was a mixed bag of conditions and was fairly soft. According to the groomer, all the trails in the SMF system have been groomed for skate skiing, but no classic tracks have been set yet, as of today. The warming shack (Ski Shack) on 28th St. and Wyoming Ave. will be open until 9:30 PM daily. The trail lights will be turned on at dusk and run for four hours.

[ Trails Open: Partial, B skis ]
I skate skied the inner and outer red and outer green trails this afternoon. I was the first skate skier to hit the trails after a fresh grooming this morning. The skate deck was buttery smooth and the glide was decent, but the deck was soft! I would sink in on just about every push off. The snow needs to settle a bit and we need more snow. There were a few areas where some dirt and grass were showing through a little, but it didn't affect the skiing. This was the first significant snowfall in Superior and the first time I could ski SMF this winter. There weren't any classic tracks set, yet. There were some tracks where other skiers made their own tracks. The ski shack was open and heated.

The trails are just now getting groomed for the first time since the big snowfall on Sunday. The inner red and outer red were getting groomed while I was skiing them. The snow is soft and the coverage is good. Under the pine trees there's still some grass poking out. Everywhere else though the snow is soft and deep. Can't wait for the crew to get all the trails groomed!

Completely ungroomed, track only from prior classic skiers in the morning on red inner loop. Don't recommend trying to skate ski until groomed.

Observation 
[ Trails Open: Partial ]
I hiked some of the yellow trail today. There's not a lot of snow on the sections I saw. There were some brave skiers on classic skis who left some tracks, but it looks like they turned around after so long. Lots of grass sticking out of the snow.

Skied the Millennium Trail and stayed on the bike path. It was definitely skiable but pretty bumpy. The dog was pulling me and it was great to be out for the first time.
