Most of the trails to the west are in good shape with some minor bare spots and foot traffic misshaping. The trails towards the east are in less than desirable conditions with many exposed sections and debris on trails (I wouldn’t bother skiing anything towards the bluffs). As of right now, Hixon offers the best skiing in the area.

Groomer was out on Wednesday evening and looked to be grooming all ski trails both on and off the golf course. Snow coverage isn’t great yet on the trail leading south from the parking lot along the edge of the woods, but trails further from the lot and trails on the golf course itself were in good shape for skate skiing. Classic tracks were not set yet.

I classic skied the marked trails on the golf course, but did not go into the forest. Nothing is groomed, but there's enough snow to toodle around with ease. Grass and sticks are visible in places that have been skied over quite a bit, but there's also plenty of fresh snow to detour through if you're being a bit more careful with your skis. Watch out for the sledders coming down the hills!
