Beautiful condition today at Mora there was some light fresh snow on top of a very firm skate deck. The classic tracks were in great shape. It was a great day for a ski and there wasn't very many skiers at Mora. If you haven't skied at Mora you should get out and try it.

The trails are in great condition and seem ready for the race this weekend. Very little debris. Classic tracks seemed fast too.

Skied this morning for about an hour. There must have been recent strong winds because there is a great deal of tree debris on the trail. Especially so in the classic tracks. I would have skied longer but the litter made for a less than ideal ski.

Excellent conditions. Tracks firm and fast. I skied the blue loop and some of the red. Only issue was the one skate skier who had there dog off leash and he was running everywhere including chasing a few folks. If you haven't been here I suggest you make the drive.

First time at this incredible facility. Skied all the trails. Classic tracks were solid and fairly fast. This was my maiden voyage on my brand new skis and I felt comfortable except for two place on lakes where there was some hardened slush. Easy to get out of tracks and ski around. A bit of debris in a few sections of the woods but it was pretty embedded in the snow and not a problem. Skate deck appeared freshly groomed. Was more than happy to put some money in the donation box!

All 10k of trails were freshly groomed and tracked today, ready for the weekend. Trails and tracks are all in good condition.

Snow base is great--we've had a lot of snow up here. There was a high school meet here yesterday, but it looks like the groomer did a quick touch up run after on the 3k-5k closest to the Nordic Center because the trail was in good shape. In the wooded areas, there is a decent amount of organic material on the ground (especially out by Bowling Alley), but those sections are a small portion of the overall skiing. I was there first thing this morning and temps were around 25 degrees. Get out there!

First Chance (freestyle) Ski Race: Not too many skiers (40-50?) and only a couple die-hard classic. I was one of them. Trail was impeccably groomed, both skate deck and track. I showed about 11K distance with one cordial water stop. Short distance of frozen slush on one pond. Compliments to groomers and considerate skaters for providing a near-perfect classic afternoon. Mora's always a good time.

Excellent conditions! Lots of snow nicely packed and groomed for both skate and classic. I arrived at 10 am and the facility was open.
Do NOT follow Google's information that says the trails are closed. They are open.

Great day out on the trails. Groomers had been at work over night. Skate deck was great and classic tracks were firm. Great snow coverage everywhere. Relatively few skiers out--made it feel like you had the place to yourself. Thanks to the volunteer Snow Farmers/grooming team for their great work on getting the trail in prime condition.
