Cold crisp morning with lots of sunshine and great cord! Skied from eggs golf course through the hills to Sullivan Springs Rd. Nice and firm and level skate deck, classic tracks were solid.

Groomed in the 2-3 inches of new snow from the golf course to Sullivan Springs Road including the hills behind the golf course and all shortcuts. Skate lane is flat and crisp, classic tracks are set throughout the area groomed today. The trail north of Sullivan Springs has 2-3 inches of new snow on top of a firm base (watch for grooming updates).

Lakewood is a winter wonderland! We kicked all of the trails north of the Old 32 Parking lot while another 2-3 inches of snow fell on the already perfectly groomed trails. Skiing in a snow globe, nothing better! Carpe Skiem!

Skated from Old 32 parking lot. A winter wonderland! The trails were not groomed but with 2-3” of new snow falling on a good firm base it was fabulous! The classic trail was in great shape also!

Trails are in very good condition. Skate skied around the hills behind the golf course and out to the Old 32 parking lot. Skate deck is firm and flat, classic tracks looked good, there was about a half inch of new snow on the trail as I finished and light snow was falling.

Our trails were totally regroomed today, by Tom Lane. I skate skied the black trail from 15k to 20k and back. First one on the new corduroy. The groomer buried most of the leaf problem. Lakewood will have excellent conditions for this weekend skiers.

Skied the golf course, the hills behind the golf course and out to the 15K marker. Freshly created cord on a flat and firm base, it was very very nice skiing! The classic tracks looked excellent also.

What a wonderful day of skiing at Lakewood. We classic skied from Old 32 to Smyth Rd. and back. The tracks were rock solid and very fast, but not icy. There were many leaves on the trail, but we used our skin skis and it wasn't an issue. It felt good to be out on good snow.

Skied the entire length of the trail including the golf course and out to the north end. Good to very good skiing throughout. The south end had more cord and the middle had more skied in areas but the skate deck throughout was firm and level. The classic tracks looked good but had quite a few leaves in them in some areas.

Beautifully groomed trail at Lakewood! Strided pretty much the entire network in 5 degrees under a clear blue sky. The tracks north of Old 32 had much more pesky wind debris than heading south! Skate deck looked perfect throughout! Carpe Skiem!
