The park received four inches of heavy, wet snow on Thursday. Skate deck has been groomed, but the corduroy is disappearing fast and did not set well. Shaded trails are icy.

The snow quality is dropping quickly. Although very skiable we are seeing icy spots and some nit of detritus on the Oak Trail. Luckily, for the most part, hikers are staying off. I skied all the trails and the simple around the campsite was best due to the shade(?). Get out soon as I feel it will be melted soon.

Excellent conditions. Skate deck is in good shape. Pleasantly surprised how few leaves on the trail even in the campground. All trails are open. Plenty of coverage. Get it while you can.

Skate deck has been re-groomed, tried to get rid of the deer/hiker tracks. Track was not reset, we tried to re-set on the Yellow (Bluebird Trail) and they became to shallow. There are shallow spots on both the deck and tracks on the Blue (Prairie Trail).

Strided all the trails (and some twice) late morning early afternoon. Track and skate deck were soft with the new snow, but the glide was excellent. Track depth varied, but did not deter from the fun ski outing. Thanks to the park staff for the prompt grooming this morning!

Great skiing out at Kegonsa! The skate deck is pretty soft in some areas especially on the south blue loop and green loop through the campground due to the fluffiness of snow we got. Overall good coverage though. Lots of people out on the classic tracks which seemed to be set well. Couldn't ask for a better day out there!

All the trails are in good condition. Smoothest trails were in the campground. Blue trails in the woods were difficult while skating. Classic would have been fine in the woods. Small sticks have fallen on the trail due to high winds. Easy to ski around.

Trails have not been groomed but are well skied in. Rock or B skis for both classic and skate. Here and there some bits of gravel or a rock but easy to avoid. Enjoy and ski! The campground trails were actually fast because of the icy base and minimal snow but again bring B or rock skis. Plenty of snow on the main trails.
