Grooming 
[ Trails Open: Most, Rock skis ]
Staff was finally able to get out and comb out the multi-use trails at Chester Woods Park. The trails south of the creek have not been groomed yet (hopefully tomorrow), and classic track was not set as the snow pack is still pretty thin and the grass is popping through in a lot of the open prairie areas. The Kisrow Trail and the Chester Lake Trail are currently getting groomed for hikers/snowshoes and dog walkers.
