It was our first time at Cottage Grove Ravine but it won't be our last. There were enough big uphills for a good workout but no scary downhills, just as I like it. I skated and my partner did classic, and it was great for both. Perfect snow that looked like it had been groomed this morning, and perfect weather! There were a few walkers on the trails, but not enough to really mess things up.

I went out for a Birkie tune-up this morning and the conditions were fantastic. The park had groomed the new snow earlier this morning, and a classic track has been set throughout the system. The snow was soft and a bit slow, but firming up nicely. Hopefully the weather continues to cooperate so we can enjoy these conditions for awhile.

Best conditions this season. Skate deck is perfect throughout. Full depth classic tracks in most areas and shallow ones in other areas but they still were devoid of debris and leaves. I used my best skis with no worries about damage.

Classic trails were fast and a little washed out in some areas but overall a great ski. Many thanks to the groomers.
