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

I only say B skis due to the lack of snow under the pines on the return trip from the very bottom back towards the top. If you stay above the park your good skis will be fine. I love skating through a few inches of powder! That's exactly what I got at Lester this morning. I had first tracks in a few spots but there were a few early risers out before me. The going was slow - but who cares? It was a great morning with fresh snow!

Had a fabulous ski with a friend on a beautiful sunny morning with the groomer working his magic on the trails. Ah! Fresh corduroy! We were in skier heaven! Enjoy!

Lester was groomed Monday, according to the city hotline. It's still soft from the recent snow, and it's gotten a lot of use, so the tracks are a bit worn and sloppy. Someone was spray-painting hot pink directional signs on the snow, so apparently there's going to be an event.

Really nice out there. Groomed yesterday, according to the city hotline. An inch or so of new snow as of noon and still snowing when we got off the trail. Tracks were holding up well.

Started at the parking lot on Lester River Road. The steep climb up to the main loop was in poor shape, with grass and bare ground showing through. From "A" and above it was fine, with deep firm tracks. About five of the electric lights were not functioning on the access loop and around the main A-B-C loop, so there are some dark stretches. If you have headlamps, bring them for extra illumination.

The cold weather has been kind to the trails. Classic tracks are as deep and firm as when they came forth from the groomer. Perfect conditions. Fast, but not scary.

Beautiful evening/night to be out. Completed the loop between points A to H. The classic tracks were in great shape! And the skiing with the full moon was cool. Thank you to the staff for making a great ski.

Best grooming job ever. Thank you for recognizing classic skiers are not a separate species. By moving the track in towards the center of the trail, I’m able to use my right ski pole and not totter on the edge so much!
