Wowza! Best tracks I think I've ever skied. These tracks are totally bomb proof. Deep, solid and fast but not icy. Get to Piedmont now! Piston Bully grooming after the freeze makes all the difference.

Nailed it! Arrived at 9 and did 6 laps. Tracks were solid and fast. Skins were rock solid kick and glide was fast. Left just as the tracks started to get soft. Great ski!

I arrived at the parking lot as the Piston Bully was leaving. I was fortunate to be one of the first skiers on freshly groomed tracks. The pole plant was a little soft. Or, perhaps I used baskets that were a little small. Hopefully that firms up overnight.

Trails have not been groomed since the last snow, but the track is firm and fast. The warmer temps haven't harmed the trails.

Primo conditions at Piedmont today, at 19 F, with some sun, and great views. The tracks are in great shape and fast, with only the very rare maple leaf.

Excellent conditions. There were freshly set tracks when we got on the trail around noon. Skiing wasn't real fast and the whipped out area after "No Root Beer Here" is good to go.

Some light snow came down yesterday and covered the trail; this covered some of the slicker and icier snow on the classic tracks. There were still a couple of icy and leafy spots, so definitely bring a pair of B skis. Downhills had a little bit of powder and very few icy spots. Overall, the trail was very favorable!

Like everywhere in Duluth, there is a lot of debris on the trail. Other than that it’s in great shape other than a washed out area near the end of the main trail. There were two sets of snowshoe tracks on a portion of the ski trail. The snowshoe tracks were mostly on the outside of the classic tracks, but they did cross over the tracks a couple times. Again, if you see someone using anything other than skis on city ski trails, remind them there are other options nearby.
