No new snow, but I regroomed all skate lanes and set a new track on the outer loop with good results. I skied the lower interior classic segments before grooming and these are in decent shape, so left the interior segments alone.

Outstanding track today. This groomer seems to have done this before. Tracks were deep, firm, straight, and smooth through the turns. Squeaky cold sound underfoot and upon pole plant.

Three inches of light fluffy snow last night. Groomed skate lanes (2 passes) and set new track on all segments. I took only the snowmobile and cut open the "Ungroomed Bog" area (see photo). Check it out...in center area of trail system.

Skied the trails before and during the Friday snowfall. Before the snow, the classic tracks were in very good shape, with just a few leaves and debris. During the snowfall, 4:30-5:30 pm, the tracks were starting to fill in and slow down, but still very enjoyable. Nice to have fresh snow and great grooming.

Groomed for both classic and slate, but the fluffy snow was falling fast. Made for a super fun ski on real snow!

Skied the outer loop and some of the interior, classic track was firm and holding up well, as I was finishing up the groomer was out so it should be even better tomorrow.

I classic skied the outer loop and upper interior segments. I had the grooming equipment with me so I made 2 passes on the outer loop only to touch things up. One pass on the skate lane and the other pass setting a new classic track with good results.

Bryan Pike is a genius groomer! The trails at Larson Lake are perfect! We mostly classic skied, but Terry did some skating too. All the trails were beautiful!

Another 3 inch snowfall overnight. I groomed all trails ahead of the Top Ranked State Bound Brainerd HS Boys Nordic Ski team practice. I regroomed the skate lanes after their practice. Trails in good shape.

2.5 inches of snow overnight. Windy and blowing snow during grooming. Wider skate lanes than before. Cutting knives lowered a touch to take some of the humps and high spots down a bit. About a 4-5 inch base.
