No grooming as of 5:00 pm, but there are some decent skier-made tracks north of the Brown's Creek Trail. Scooting along in skier tracks or making your own has its own special kind of charm. The prairie stretch was brutally windy, as always. There are minimal skier tracks and heavy foot traffic damage south of the trail. Getting across the trail is no picnic, either. The crossings haven't been smoothed out and I found it difficult to make it over the snowbanks left from plowing the Brown's Creek State Trail. Skating is not really possible until the groomer makes a pass.

Thank you groomers for getting to these trails! First time groomed this season and the trails were in fine form. These trails do get a lot of foot traffic. The classic tracks were clean, but a bit soft since this was the first groom of the year. A great day in Stillwater.

Trails have not been groomed at all, which is quite sad. We still skied, and it was a beautiful evening, but without grooming, it was slow and clunky. Hoping we can get some groomed trails soon, so much good snow. Thank you.
