Grooming has attempted to break up hard-icy surface with fairly good results, but trails are still a bit hard and fast, but not totally ice. Older classic track has a dusting of snow in it so it's a slower option than the skate deck.

Great conditions for skate skiing. Most trails have been groomed recently. Despite the warm weather snow coverage is good with no bare spots. Classic tracks are in a decent condition as well.

We skied Acorn, Ojibway, Pioneer and Little Ben. Little Ben's classic was pretty much blown out. Everything else was decent. Great skiing despite it being below zero.

Excellent conditions on the Arb trails today. Solid classic track and nice corduroy on the skate deck. Very little tree detritus on the skiing surface anymore. Should be great conditions for Lumberjack Jaunt on Saturday.

Open about 90% with amazing classic and skate grooming! A few natural debris from the trees but nothing major. I would not bring my good skis here. These trails made me very happy because I often ski them alone.

Had a wonderful ski late this afternoon. The trails were the best I've seen at the Arboretum this year - nearly pristine! Great job by the groomers!

Excellent conditions all-around! For trail length, quality, and scenery the Northland arboretum is a real gem.
