Hats off to the groomer! Christmas Day skate skiing was wonderful. Some tree debris but manageable. Tracks set for classic on most runs.

The groomers did a really nice job breaking up the ice from the big melt earlier in the week. There is nearly full coverage, but the strong winds blue, a lot of branches, pine cones, leaves, etc., onto the trails. Overall better than I expected. Virtually no tracks for classic.

All trails are groomed and classic track set on far side of deck surface. Skate skiing was good with my occasional "free ride" in the downhill classic track. Snow coverage is good with few things spots.

Afternoon
Firsthand: Classic 
[ Trails Open: Most, B skis ]
Trails (except portion of North Star) have been rolled, but not tracked. Signs of several trees that had to be removed. Consequently there is debris from those and the effects of the wet heavy snow. Plus the ubiquitous pin oak leaves on certain trails. It was still a good ski nonetheless.
