Notes

Trails are on the golf course. Some nice hills but most of the course is pretty exposed. There is one back leg that is quite shaded and seems to hold snow long after the rest of the course loses it. Rentals at the chalet.

Hard packed and icy; will challenge your balance! Good coverage overall with some thin spots that are avoidable and look like mostly grass poking through. The two worst sports are marked with green painted arrows. Take caution on the downhill by the alpine slope so those spots don't catch you by surprise.

City of St. Paul groomed this morning; blown snow not withstanding, the trails are 95% in excellent shape and the few brown spots are easy to avoid, for both freestyle and classic! There were a few flurries this morning, the strong wind picked up the minimal snow and deposited it in the tracks and on the corduroy. Made the workout a little harder, but no complaints, we'll take any snow we can get!

The groomers have done a fantastic job keeping Como up and running. The base for skate is thin, but easy to avoid the "brown spots". However, almost the entire trail is fully snow white. Also, kudos to grooming for expanding the skate base on the lefthand side to limit rutting on the corners. Overall, great conditions, no icing, clean trails, good conditions.

The Como golf course cross country ski trail was groomed this morning. The base is very thin in spots. We could use some snow to help build up the trail base. Overall the trail is in good shape with a few grass blades in a couple places. The classic track was not set today because it is in good condition. Enjoy!

Wonderful night to get out and catch some snow. The Como grooming crew did a phenomenal job on the trails mixing up the fresh snow and breaking up the ice underneath. I never hit ice underneath the top layer and had decent glide the whole time. Everything was holding up easily even with 2 or 3 high school teams out there for practice in the afternoon. Classic tracks looked like they had been set and groomed (real ones) all the way around the course. A spot here or there where the tracks were a bit washed out but nothing that would hamper a good classic ski. Fingers crossed for continued cool weather and great trails ahead.

Thank you groomers! Novice skier checking in. It was a gorgeous day out on Como at the noontime hour. Classic tracks were ace, and I had a great time. There was one hill where the morning winds must've blustered the snow around unevenly; a short stretch of the tracks were filled powder, followed by a short stretch of patchy grassy snow. Overall, I'd say 97% of the course was perfect!

The Como golf course cross-country ski trail was groomed this morning. The freshly fallen snow allowed us to lay down a beautiful corduroy today. A fresh classic track was set as well. Enjoy!
