All of Willow's trails were groomed and tracked this morning. Conditions were becoming soft with the warming temperatures. Classic tracks were holding up better than the skate deck. Trails are fully covered but the base is thin and dirt spots are likely to appear with warmer weather.

Excellent freestyle skate deck today. Bonus which included a fresh dusting. Hat tip to all the groomers.

None of the trails were groomed today but all have been skied on, more classic tracks than skate. Good coverage, pretty day.

Fresh inch of snow falling this afternoon and conditions were great, no litter, no icy spots, just smooth going. Skied the Green trail and for fun the trail behind the nature center.

Trails were freshly groomed after yesterday's snow and while the top few inches were new it was hard beneath it which sometimes made it difficult to plant a pole firmly. No litter in the tracks and just a few sticks otherwise.

All trails have been groomed for skate and classic except the Silver trail. The silver has only been rolled. Grooming plans: We are hoping to finish the silver Thursday pending equipment repair.

Groomed skate deck of all trails. Reset classic track on red, purple, green, west 1/2 of blue and top of yellow. Some debris left after grooming but grooming cleaned up most.

We walked the snowshoe trails and every time we crossed a X-country trail it looked in perfect condition. Grooming was recent and double tracked with a light layer of new snow. Very few tracks we saw had recently been traversed. A photo of a typical view is attached.

Dusting of light snow around noon made for slow conditions but trails were in good shape. About 3 pm the wind really picked up and threw down a lot of debris in the wooded sections and swept the new snow off the open prairie areas. Dropping temps made some areas icy and very quick, followed by slow sections of windblown drifting snow. Doing the snow dance for early next week!

Skied the Red this morning, it was awesome. See the groomers got around lots of the park yesterday. Some of the best conditions all year. Thanks to the groomers and mother nature for some new snow (not a lot ... but enough!).
