Dike East to Lindenwood lift-bridge classic track has transitioned in sunny sections in the past couple of days and those areas have icy tracks.  Shaded sections are firm and fast with well-defined tracks and decent kick.  Short sections of the track have dirt and grass in the bottom of the track from the groomer cutting through the snow on uneven ground and melting.  The Lindenwood lift-bridge to the campground classic track is shallow and has seen a lot of foot-traffic.  The Dike East to Lindenwood skate lane is firm and fast with an uneven deck from use before the deck firmed up.  The deck is icy in sunny sections.  Trails have a two inch compacted base.  Spring-like skiing.

Trails from Dike East to Lindenwood groomed late-morning after four and a half inches of dry fine-grained snow midday Tuesday through early Wednesday morning. Classical tracks are well formed with some limited shallow areas where dirt or grass/leaves were exposed in the bottom of the track. Most of the tracks were on a two inch packed base. Skating lane combed on a two inch compacted base. Trails were soft but quickly firming up after grooming.

Two inches of fresh fine-grained snow on Sunday over mowed grass and leaves. Skier tracked trails cutting into grass and leaves.
