We classic skied Magney today and the tracks were 80% debris filled. The skate lanes was well used despite having been rolled I believe yesterday? The tracks really needed some attention. I stayed out of the tracks to preserve my skis. Someone also fat biked up the skate lane. We ran into two men from the Cities who had come over from Spirit, they said it was in worse shape than Magney.

Went in behind the groomer this morning. Skated the full trail, Bardon's and Ely's were both very soft and slow with not much speed on the downhills. Surprising amount of dirt/sticks but they were easily avoidable. Classic deck looked pretty clean and firm. Main trail was pretty fluffed up in some spots and icy with some divots and uneven spots in others, but overall very skiable. I'd imagine with some time and more skiers things should speed up soon!

Two of us skied, classic and skate and had a wonderful ski. Trails were groomed and in good condition. Packed but with some soft snow, making skate skiing very enjoyable. Some shallow gullies to watch for, but not out of the ordinary. Classic tracks solid, with just a few thin spots.

We skied everything at Magnus. The tracks were overall great, with periodic thin spots but not enough to warrant B skis. The skate deck was still fairly soft with a few uneven spots. It was great to be out and the trails were empty.

The skate deck was maybe 2/3 winter-wonderland-excellent, 1/3 soft, uneven, rutted, too narrow, and otherwise frustrating. I imagine it’s not easy to groom all the soft, dry snow we’ve gotten recently.

Went to Magney at 1:30 nothing was groomed yet since the big dump on Monday. Someone skied in a track, but that was covered up with 3 inches of new snow.

Magney just got rolled. I didn't ski it because it is very soft and needs time to set up. Pouring snow as I report.
