Thin conditions with bare spots on the trails. Track is in poor condition with bare ground coming through in areas. Skate deck is in fair condition overall and scratched this morning.

The trails were firm and fast with great control. The grooming was great as the dirt spots that were present on Thursday were much fewer today and easy to avoid. The parking lot was packed when I got there at about noon and the trails held up great to all of the people using them. Great job Portage County Parks Department!

Very nice skate ski on all the trails at Standing Rocks. Skate deck was firm and provided good edging with a few exceptions. Tracks were solid. A few areas of dirty snow on the skate deck that were easily avoided.

Skated Rocks this morning. There is full coverage and the trails are in great shape! Gotta say that reduced glide due to polar cold seems more a factor skating than striding, despite a fresh coat of Start Green on my skis. Still, it was great to be out there. Dress right and it's great!

Standing rocks ski trails have been groomed and we are currently finishing setting track on all trails. They have excellent snow cover and are a little soft but should set up with the cold weather. There is also some drifting on some of the trails. The Standing Rocks Fat Bike trails have been groomed today. Please, stay off the freshly groomed FTB trails until Saturday morning to give them time to firm up overnight. Thank you!

Skied blue trails and connectors. Some bare spots, more debris in tracks than before; nothing that can’t be skied around. Hills are fast and in good shape. Hopefully there will be more snow soon.

I was skiing about an hour before they started re-grooming the decks. I skied the blue trails and connectors. Even without grooming, the skating deck was very good; with grooming it was perfect. No debris, no bare spots, no rocks. The hills were great. Not sure they’re going to set new tracks today, but the current ones were pretty good on the more level parts of the trails. Almost no debris.
