Beautiful day and great trails! Good coverage, a few small spots of dirt or rock poking through thin snow on the edge in the sun, easily avoidable. Only one section in the woods on silver where the debris was a challenge on the skate deck, otherwise minimal throughout. Nice to be out in the warmer temps with light up until almost 6 pm.

Skied the Purple trail and the loop across the Willow River. Deck very firm and tracks were a bit icy even after the snow this weekend, but not too fast. There were a few thin spots with a bit of dirt starting to show though.

Perfect skiing with the new dusting of snow. Debris here and there but definitely good cover. Tracks looked great.

Trails were groomed and as another skier noted, somewhat "marbled" skate deck. Nice to be able to get an edge. Some gravel starting to show in spots on the west end climb up silver. Overall good coverage and the debris has been knocked back to a very reasonable level. Thank you groomers, appreciate your hard work to make these trails great to ski! Awesome to ski down by the river, seeing all the ducks, geese and occasional swans. Abundant deer every afternoon, a shock of adrenaline when they cross the trail in front of you descending the rollercoaster :) Beautiful cold day and beautiful trail system!

Grooming 
[ Trails Open: All, Good skis ]
All trails ere groomed today skate and classic. Classic tracks vary from shallow to full depth. The skate lane groomed out somewhat marbled but is softened up. The only rough spot is a couple of bigger rocks sticking out on the yellow trail steep downhill going towards the mid level parking lot.

Hard and fast, rutted and uneven in areas. Hills are getting scraped down, can be hard to get an edge at times. Good coverage still, quite a lot of debris in spots. Hoping the groomers can work some magic in the next few days and smooth things out.

I skied the Red, Brown, Purple, Green and parts of Blue and Yellow. It was pretty busy for a Thursday afternoon. Wow, great skiing. Not too cold, not too warm. You really could ski with your best skis, except for maybe a little (avoidable) dirt. Since it hasn't snowed lately, there's some leaf litter. I skated, but the tracks looked pretty darn good too. I don't even think I saw much of any footprints in places where there shouldn't be any. Thanks groomers!

Trails are in great condition, thanks groomers! Soft in areas and slow with the cold and new snow, but great coverage. Very little debris and thankfully no footprints except from the deer. B skis only because of the road crossings and the chance of stones on a few of the climbs.

Skied many of the trails both in meadows and woods. Trails were in great shape and are in the best condition of the year. Thanks to the groomer's amazing work! Get on the Willow!
