The trail system is in great shape. I skied on the golf course and out to Old 32 Rd (6k) and did the hills behind the golf course too. The skate deck was superb, classic tracks were clean, fast and firm. Got out there early before it warmed up, so it was a great ski.

Trail report for golf course to County F (0-20k), including big beautiful hills behind golf course (2-5k). Pisten Bully groomed last night. Some windblown snow on golf course (0-2k) but rest of trail was pristine, clean, level and wide (4-5m). Skate lanes and full-length classic tracks had excellent control. Round-trip elevation gain is estimated 1300 feet (400m). Lakewood trail delivered one of best days in memory. Kudos to volunteer maintenance group.

Complete trail was Piston Bully groomed. This includes the Golf Course, Golf Course Hills, all I crossovers and intersections. New classic track was set throughout the system. With the cool temperatures the trail has set up nicely. Conditions are excellent. Both pictures are in the hills behind the Golf Course. One is at the top of toboggan and the other is the shortcut between blue and green trails.

Skied the golf course, the big hills behind the golf course and out to Old 32 Rd (6K). With fresh grooming skiing was awesome! Nice cord on a firm level skate deck. Classic tracks were deep and firm with almost no debris. 14 degrees and sunny when I skied.

Trail report from golf course to Sullivan Spring Rd (0-11km); large hills behind golf course (2-5km) were not skied. Golf course has fresh grooming and is clean and level with no debris. Remainder has been recently groomed and was fast and fairly clean, minimal debris. No recent skate deck grooming from 11-20km (Smyth Rd, gold loop, County F). Deck has good base with solid pole plants. Adjacent classic tracks throughout were of moderate depth and fairly clean. Good skis may be used on skate lane. Overall, very good day at this scenic location.

I skied the green trail off the south end of the golf course to the blue trail and out to Sullivan Spring Rd. Very nice skiing with an inch of new snow over a crispy and firm skate deck. Classic tracks were nice throughout. The golf course is freshly groomed. Beyond Sullivan Spring Rd it was not recently groomed with 2-3 inches of new snow on top of the last grooming.

Skied loop from the parking lot to the golf course on Sunday around noon. 2-3" of loose snow over an occasionally crusty base. It was slow but easily skiable. No bare spots and very pleasant in the woods. Few skiers there when we started, but the parking lot was 1/3 full when we left.

We received about 3 inches of wet heavy snow this morning after steady rain through the night. We have a good amount of new snow on top of the existing base but it is too warm to groom at this time. The whole trail had a nice base as of yesterday, so with the new snow we are just waiting for the right conditions to groom.

Skied the golf course, the hills behind the golf course, and out to 9K. The trail base from 2k to 9k is still holding up well. The skate lane is still firm with 100% coverage. The classic track is okay in many areas but is broken down and washed out in other areas. The golf course is very icy and I do not recommend skiing there.

Skate lane report for 6-16 Km. Approximate 50% decrease in depth since last Friday. Occasional dirt and grass showing through. Ice glaze in shade alternating with soft sticky snow in sun. Diagonal tracks had also lost depth. Be very cautious of downhills. Late season conditions.
