The cross country ski trail at Como golf course had a fresh groom this morning and the skate deck is in great shape. A new classic track was set in some places but in other areas we could not because grass was showing. The classic track may be icy where we couldn’t groom. Stay warm and enjoy.

Great morning to classic ski at Como. Tracks in good condition, although washed out on the downhill corners. Good kick with Rex ProGrip Blue when temp was around 15 degrees. Lots of families starting to show up when I was leaving around 11 am. Great atmosphere with little kids sledding and snowboarding nearby.

About as good as it gets. Thanks groomers! Good tracks for classic and full coverage for both skating and classic. The parking lot was a zoo when we arrived around 2 pm, but most of the crowd were doing downhill, so the XC course was not overcrowded. There was a canoe (either a Grumman or an Alumacraft) down by the course, so we're wondering what kind of new snow sport involves a canoe.

Great new snow conditions. Central and Mounds Parks high school teams skied in the skate track. Man made classic tracks.

Como is still rocking with the warmer weather and lack of continual snow. The groomer have set a bit of tracks for the learning area. Otherwise, the skate deck was pretty solid throughout the whole course, a bit icy in a few places and a bit thin in a few places. Nothing to worry about if you're paying attention but I would ski on B skis (if you have them). In high traffic south facing areas, there is definitely grass, sometimes lots, but that's to be expected. Still great to have up in Saint Paul. 7 or 8 out of 10.

Snow in good condition, somewhat compact. A few little patches of grass poking through thin snow are easy to avoid.

A few grass patches but overall really nice. Some of the hills were quite icy so if you’re a beginner be careful. I had no idea it was such a big loop! Beautiful day.

Skied over lunch and the grooming done by James in the morning was appreciated! Cold snow made for slow going, but the deck was firm, level, and really great. A few grassy spots here and there trying to make their way through, but all in all, very nice. Thanks groomers!

The trail at Como golf course was groomed this morning. The classic tracks were not groomed to help preserve them but the skate deck received a complete groom. The trail looks great. Enjoy the corduroy!
