Skied blue and part of red trail. The red part I did was out and back. Blue trail a loop. Gorgeous, quiet, trails had all classic tracks except for a few corners and hills. Great for a beginner who wants to get a bit more challenge. Didn’t ski the third loop. Some places double tracked. A great day with good friends.

Skied all three loops mid-afternoon. Probably not the best choice if you're looking for relief from the cold winds today. The yellow loop had no classic tracks and is nearly all prairie. The blue loop has a mix of some woods along the bluff (with nice views of St. Croix River), and some prairie. Red loop had the most wooded sections, but still felt pretty cold. The red and blue trails were well tracked with only a few sections with shallow tracks. Not a lot of evidence of skiers -- skate lane and classic tracks were well groomed and almost pristine.

This trail was a good choice for today being very wooded to where the wind was not a big factor. Skied the red, south trail and the blue, east trail. Both were recently groomed and the tracks were mostly good throughout. There were some spots where the tracks were shallow and a few spots where they were missing. Overall, a good ski on a chilly day.

Excellent conditions. Was surprised by the lack of significant drifting on the open prairie loops, even with the big wind today. Likely because the trail is adjacent to a thick tree boundary. Classic tracks are great.

All the trails were regroomed today skate and classic. No classic tracks on the yellow multiuse loop. Grooming was perfect with no debris in the tracks.

Excellent. Red loop has nice deep classic tracks (double); yellow and blue loops have a smooth skate deck. Only part of the blue loop has tracks right now. Really nice conditions. Thank you groomers.

Grooming 
[ Trails Open: All, Good skis ]
All trails have been groomed for skate and classic skiing. Corduroy is soft but will hopefully firm up overnight. Conditions are considered to be good. There is drifting occurring in the open areas.
