Great coverage through most of the trails - I ski here about every other week and trails are in the best condition they've been all winter! Guessing from trail conditions the trails haven't been groomed since Monday. There's a couple uphills where dirt is showing through, all avoidable. Some trails are showing signs of hikers, most of them are closer to the visitor center (green loop and trail parallel to walking path). The snow is packed down enough though that it didn't really impact the ski deck. Only spot that was a little icy was the section in front of the lake, just NW of the fishing dock.

The trails were in good condition and the groomers continue to do a great job! Snow coverage is excellent throughout the entire course. Classic tracks are set on part of the course, but not on the red loop, which is the outer loop that most skiers use, so hopefully they will be set soon.

Really good conditions at the Ravine today. The trails were groomed this morning, and the new snow has created a great skate deck. The new snow also helped cover up some of the icy spots that existed by the lake where the sun had previously caused a meltdown. There was no track set but classic skiers have created one in some spots. I marked B skis but you could use good skis if you would like. It is awesome to live so close to this beautiful park.

Excellent snow coverage and set tracks for classic throughout. Skate deck soft, but good pack. Only a few very small dirty patches on the course. These trails are hidden gems. Check them out!

Beautiful conditions today at CGR! Classic track set throughout the system and was in good to excellent condition. No icy spots, very little debris, and good snow coverage. A few areas where we could use a little more snow but overall a great peaceful ski.

Skate lanes are level but thin on some steeper downhills and uphills. I would continue to use B skis until we get another snowfall. Occasional rocks and debris here and there. Currently, there are no classic tracks set due to lack of enough base.

Disappointed. It appeared that this beautiful trail system hadn't seen grooming since perhaps Thursday. Plenty of snow for coverage, but the deck was rutted, uneven, bumpy, and hard as concrete. A couple of passes with the groomer to scratch it up might have made all the difference. Really disappointing to find the trails in such poor condition, especially on the weekend.
