Afternoon
Firsthand: Freestyle 
[ Trails Open: All, B skis ]
Nicely groomed trails with tracks set on all natural snow. Tracks are shallow and in some areas have oak leaves in them or grass sticking up. Some bits of branches here or there in the skate lanes but considering the small volume of snow, I would say the skate trails are the Bee's Knee's. The Chalet is open to mask wearers and there are also plenty of portable bathrooms from near the entrance down into the main parking area. There are a few skis available to rent there and a handful of folks are fishing out on the small lake.

Well covered but thin base made for a fine night of skiing. Classic tracks unreliable but the skate deck had enough depth where I did not worry about where I was setting my ski.

Skated the trails after recent and first grooming on the Monday. Mostly good coverage except for a few south facing hilltops where there was traces of dirt in the center of the trail. Expected early season lumpy spots. Classic tracks were very good. Encountered a number of walkers with their dogs that seemed to be under the impression that it was allowed on the winter, groomed xc trails. The signage is all very good after the updates the past season. Also, the Nordic center is fantastic!

Classic tracks were set after I skied here Sunday. The skate deck is much firmer today and the brown spots are easy to avoid. There is still a foot of snow on a bench along the South Loop trail. You can rent skis at the new Ravine Landing center which has lovely views of a wooded ravine.
