Overall conditions were quite good! The man-made snow trails right at the bottom of the sledding hill were firm and somewhat icy, but I could still get an edge. The trails across the road from the hill had been groomed today, and the skate deck had a shallow granular and soft top layer which was decent for skiing.

The 2.5-3km artificial snow trail is open and was being groomed while I was skiing at noon. There were some small icy patches that were being broken up or covered by another skier (thank you to that person!) and the groomers were adding more snow to expand the trail into new areas. Snow was clean and the skate deck was good; classic tracks were missing in a few areas but otherwise looked good.

Great conditions on the 2.83 Km machine made loop (if skied as designed, with two way sections). Groomed for skating and classic this morning. Groomer is getting better, tracks not perfect but pretty nice.

The trail was recently groomed with a classic track set. Overall very nice skiing for both skate and classic. A few "squiggles" in the classic track but not a problem.

Gamehaven trails were in excellent condition today. The groomer has now connected the 2 main loops and big hill, giving total trail length of about 2.5 km. Classic tracks were set in most places and in good condition. Groomer is new so tracks are not always perfect, but majority of tracks were good.

The two loops are now connected! It makes a nice roughly 2k full loop, not including the big hill. All of the manmade snow trails were groomed this morning and are in good shape, with classic tracks set. The newest portions are a bit wavy still, and a few of the classic tracks don't connect right, but it's overall very nice and was wonderful to ski this today.

City has continued to move around the man made snow and create a few short loops. Appeared to have been groomed recently and not too icy despite our recent rainfall. Very enjoyable afternoon skate skiing. Classic tracks set as well.

The main Gamehaven man-made loop is in excellent condition for skating. The classic tracks are in good shape for about 80% of the main loop (~1.3 km). The second loop is still to be finished and is good for skating only, with only shallow classic tracks in some areas. the two loops have yet to be connected. Snow is good, clean and ok for your good skis.

Trail was being regroomed with tracks while I was there. Still two unconnected loops. We (RASC) have been assured that there will be regular grooming, with the PB, and tracks will be set. Groomers are still learning.

Came for the first time this season to check out the situation. The groomed loop is 0.6 miles and in good condition with almost no debris on the trail. A bit icy as expected given the recent weather. No classic tracks. Walking trail from parking lot to ski trail is doable in ski boots and there is no bench on which to sit near the ski trail. I hope they increase the trail distance considerably soon! Sledders having a blast, from what I can hear and see.
