Trail Detail
Notes
Most of the trails are on the golf course, thus pretty open and fairly flat. The course really winds back and forth.Trail Reports

The skate deck and classic tracks were icy with ample debris in the classic tracks. The upshot of this was that the classic tracks were fast, stop, fast, stop and the skate deck was too solid to have much control. Kudos to the groomers for making Phalen as good as possible given the conditions.

We finished skiing here around noon, just as the groomer was unloading. Man-made classic trail was ok (3 out of 5 stars for a Hollywood ranking) but spent quite a bit of energy trying to stay moving forward instead of kicking out sideways. Deck is thin in multiple spots, thanks to the melting. Looking forward to trying this course again after fresh snow.

Phalen has been rolled and skied in. Very nice soft skiing tonight. There is a great skier made classic track along the outside. Plenty of snow no real problems on the just about 4 mile loop.

Grooming Scheduling [ Trails: Closed, ]
|
Trails are closed until we get more snow to groom. Right now we only have ice or bare ground to work with. Please visit a man made loop until we can reestablish a trail.

Observation [ Trails: Closed ]

Attempted skiing today. The rain made it so that the trails are no longer skiable. No set track or grooming.

Got on the trail at noon today. Classic track is mostly intact but icy throughout. There are some bare spots throughout as well. Trail is not in the best condition, but it is skiable. The condition is the roughest at the begining, but improves.

Pleasantly surprised by the conditions and amount of snow. My son and I skied one lap after dark on soft fast snow, there were just a few spots of icy snow. Hope it holds out for a few more days.

Trail was just being raked ahead of me as I was classic skiing. Trax were fairly icy - grip tape worked well, but hard wax or fishscales probably wouldn't. Track was perfect for skating, with plenty of snow almost everywhere. This snow should last for a while yet.
