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

Classic tracks have not been set, but there are tracks to follow. Deck had not been groomed and it was thick with the new snow.

Skate skied at 5:45 pm, thought the conditions were in good shape for a newbie. Plan to be skating a lot more.

As of noon today, the trail had not been packed. Skied on fresh snow over the packed base of yesterday. Th new snow, covered all of the problem areas.

The inch and a half of new snow really helped the skating here. Now there's good glide everywhere although a couple gravel crossings are still a ski threat. For the most part very nice skating, because while it is certainly flat (macro), it is flat (micro) so not at all bumpy and it skis well with shallow coverage - and right now it us not too loose nor too hard. Fun skate!

Thin base with some grassy spots. Tracks in a few places. Reasonable conditions considering the wind and drifting from the earlier snowfall.

Phalen was surprisingly well covered and busy! The skate deck has been rolled recently but not today with loose snow cover on most of it. There are many spots where grass and twigs are poking through. Maybe B skis but certainly not A's. Homemade classic tracks are along most of the course. For now, be willing to ski around bad spots and enjoy.

Rolled but not tracked. You could gouge your skis on the few pavement/gravel crossings, so be careful (I ski-walked a few), but overall not bad skiing. The roller makes big corduroy that can guide your classic skis, but classic was just OK due to pretty soft kick. Skating was actually pretty fun and the snow fairly fast despite the low temps. Some grassy spots but only one place where gravel was showing. Good flat-ski/long glide motivation! Will probably return tomorrow.

Classiced Phalen this afternoon and found it rather nice. The ground is still wet under snow and there are some puddles. Many people have been out so there are plenty of tracks to jump into. Just as easy to make your own. With the new coating of snow we received to day skiing should be excellent Friday. There have been a few skaters out although it looked like they were hitting the grass on push off.
