Very good overall for skate, nice looking classic tracks on most trails. A fresh inch or two of cold, dry snow last night has covered up the debris that had littered parts of the trail after Sunday's strong wind. All trails got at least one pass of the groomer today. The hilly (east) side of the yellow trail is still a bit soft and lacks a classic track. City crews continue to deliver a high quality product on a daily basis.

I was treated to firm tracks and fresh firm cord as I classic skied the Green and Red today! I did not venture over to the other trails. Just a heads up that the Yellow and Purple trails along with the road to them will be closed for the Stride, Ride, Glide Tri this Sunday March 3rd from 6am until about 3pm.

I skied the red and parts of the green today. The red is all perfect cord for skating and the groomer was just doing the tracks as I left, he passed me to put them in -- what a treat! Most of the green was also fresh cord the rest was being packed as I left. The yellow side has not been done yet. Well worth driving over to get a good ski in!

Grooming plans: Due to the winter storm yesterday, packing and grooming will be limited to the trails north of 42nd Street today.

Fresh grooming throughout resulting in very good to excellent conditions for skate skiing. Classic tracks looked good as well. I skied all the trails today, paying particular attention to the purple/yellow combination loop. It's in excellent shape, and totals nearly 12 km with no back-tracking.

Kudos to the hard working groomers for their 7 day a week schedule which created perfect conditions again today! We were treated to fresh cord on the yellow and purple trails today! The yellow is tracked on the flat side and the groomer said he wants to do more packing on the hilly side prior to putting in tracks, he is hoping to put those in tomorrow.

All trails were widened, groomed and tracked today and are firming up nicely. It should be a great weekend to ski!

We have two groomers out working today, to catch up from the recent snowfalls. Everything north of 42nd Street has been groomed and tracked. The trails south of 42nd Street have been groomed, but still need to set up so they may be soft.

I skied down the snowmobile trail to get to the yellow trails to find they hadn't been groomed since the last snow fall so there are several inches of snow to get each ski thru. I skied a bit on them anyways because it's so pretty out there with all the snow coated on the trees. But when I got back to the parking lot I skied on the purple trails I believe, and they were pretty fresh groomed. Then I was on the green trails for a bit and I was the first skier on the fresh groomed trails. Beautiful day for a ski!

Kudos to the groomers for getting out there and creating perfection on the green and red trails! The classic track was well defined and the skate lanes fresh cord! Well worth the drive yet again! Get out and ski Superior...they said they will be grooming Saturday and Sunday so trails will stay impeccable!
