I hiked the prairie snowshoe trail and observed the classic ski trails were mostly iced over, bare in some areas. No one else on the snowshoe trails when I hiked the Trout Brook loop.

Wonderful morning on the trails if you don't mind some damage! The snow is fast and a bit icy. Quite a few pine needles, leaves, twigs, etc. Some trail hikers too. But don't let that stop you! It was a blast along the St. Croix!

Classic skied all the trails. Good coverage and grooming. I rated the trails as B skis as there is a lot of tree debris in the tracks. Unfortunately there is foot traffic on most of the trails in spite of signs that forbid it. Skied by a guy out walking with his unleashed dog on the trail. Great park and trails even with the walker/runners...

I skied 2 miles on the prairie loop this morning and had a lovely time at sunrise. Really powdery snow. No grooming yet.
