Trail Detail
Notes
The Lester-Amity trail offers 15K of varied terrain for beginner to experienced skiers through pine, aspen, and birch forests. An additional 3K circles the Lester Park Golf Course and is accessible from the main Lester-Amity Trail. The openness of the golf course offers an excellent place for beginning cross-country skiers, and several short cuts are available. There is also a 5K trail portion that is lit in the mornings and evenings.Trail Reports

3-4 inches of new, fairly dense snow. It's dried out substantially from when it fell; we were on zeros and scales which kicked OK, but hardwax would probably be best. Trails were not groomed. There was a nice skied in track around the perimeter loop. Only one or two spots where you might hit dirt or roots.

Everything minus the hills up from the lower parking lot are skiable. Definitely not bluebird conditions, with thin/icy coverage and serious ruts. I did a double pole workout, although I think skating would be possible with caution. A few downhills were sketchy due to ice and culverts creating jumping ramps. Snow conditions (depth, ice, and walker footprints) improve as you head up the hill. I'm guessing conditions will hold on for at least a few more days. Thanks to the groomers!

Upper loops have been rolled but not tracked. There is just enough snow for a fun ski if you have low expectations. A few rocks and a couple of damp spots. Lower loops have been heavily damaged by many, many walkers, but there is enough snow to ski them. Beautiful day in the woods.

Surprisingly ski-able! Groomed, but not tracked. Used rock skis. No significant bare patches. Snow is soft but not slushy as of this morning, and not even too slow! Great conditions for the time of year and the paltry amount of snow so far!
