Firsthand: Freestyle 
[ Trails Open: Most, B skis ]
Recommend B skis, lots of spots with grass or leaf litter poking through the snow and some dirty spots, especially on the hills, but no real bare patches and it had been groomed after last night's snowfall so that was nice! The front loop had the best coverage except for right where you enter by the parking lot.

1k skate loop was groomed this morning. Still has a little bit of life in it. Rest of park remains sketchy, at best.

1k skate deck near the parking lot was groomed this morning. The 1k loop survived the rain pretty well. Rest of the trails have several ice patches.

My first time skiing at this park. A combo of flats and wooded hills. The outer loop is about 5km. Tracks were good. Grooming good although it appears that it has been groomed for a couple days. Although the snow was a tad slow, since it was 3F when I started.

Still decent, although there were a few blown over areas which made for some slow going. You might want to use a warmer wax. Classic track looks really nice.

Freshly groomed by the excellent grooming team! A couple of grassy/icy spots but very good conditions overall.

McCarthy in almost as pristine condition as it was a couple days ago! Hats off and thank you to the groomer(s)! Some leaf litter in classic tracks around woods makes skating ideal. Skate deck is extremely firm, I'd call it slick and fast, but absolutely not icy. The off-camber section that was previously very soft has firmed up perfectly thanks to the groomer's efforts. Overall few bare spots, a couple spots with coyote scat, and numerous places where a ski has dug into the snow make skiing in the total dark unappealing, but up through 40 min past sunset (with headlamp) gave enough light to avoid these tricky spots. Starting to get more boot prints in the trail, unfortunately.

Trails are still in pretty good condition. Some grass was starting to show, but skate deck was firm. It appeared that classic tracks were mostly there based on observation only.

Grooming

Completed daily grooming on all the trails, all trails have skate lane and tracks set. Skate lane is firming up more each day with maintenance grooming. Tracks are good but still shallow in places where some vegetation is showing in spots.
