Notes

About 17km total of trail loops near the St. Cloud penitentiary. Some scenic woods and great hills. Just a mile from the Mississippi, trails run on land that was formerly a farm and takes skiers through pastures, forests, and apple orchards. Trails are mostly easy to intermediate with a few challenging hills.

I skated a few laps on the Warm-Up, Orchard and Hilltop trails this afternoon. Single-digit temps made for some squeaky snow, which still felt fairly fast under my "cold" skis. Grooming was excellent, with a hard skate deck and boilerplate classical tracks. I did use caution on the downhills just to be on the safe side. Other than a couple of the steeper uphill sections, there was little or no leaf debris. I used good skis with no problem. Kudos to the grooming crew!

Grooming 
[ Trails Open: All, Good skis ]
New skate and classic tracks were set on the Warm Up Loop and the Orchard Loop as well as a fresh skate deck on the North Loop. Everything groomed up nicely. The North Loop has a lot of red oak leaves and sticks so use caution when skiing.

Orchard and Warm-up loop were in good condition but got deep at some points. A quick groom and trails could be perfect!

Had a fun ski on the North Loop. Recent grooming. Some leaves and a few places where the trail had flooded then froze. Many thanks to the volunteer groomers!

Skied most of the trails. Snow was a little soft, but that's what happens when it's abundant. No set classic tracks. Great skiing.
