Icy conditions at Piedmont with the freeze/thaw cycle recently. Our scale skis had a hard time gripping on some slight uphill sections. I'm sure skins or wax skis would work better!

Light snow on top of ice tracks made for surprisingly good classic skiing. Oslo Purple was a little sticky but kicked well in the mixed snow conditions. Most tracks were skied in but not too fast. Very little leaf litter - nice clean trail!

15F. Overcast, no wind. The tracks couldn't be more perfect. It's like xc skier heaven. Tracks are super solid all the way around everywhere.

Piedmont is in great shape. Firm tracks and great grooming. Couldn't ask for anything more. Get out and ski!

8 to 18 inches of new snow in the Duluth/Superior area. Thanks to Duluth City groomers for getting out early Wednesday! 10 degree F at about 2:30 PM when Beth and I skied Piedmont. Cold, dry, wind-blown snow, but perfectly groomed into double classic tracks. Fairly decent glide, and so beautiful with perfectly blue skies, and even though crisp temps, no wind and plenty of late February sun made it seem balmy in this rather cool year. What a great winter this has been!

Piedmont is not groomed yet from the recent snowfall. No tracks set from skiers, only from walkers. I skied out a little way and came back. Snow is deep. Will check back tomorrow.

Beautiful morning classic skiing on Piedmont trails - about 5K on most of the loops except a small loop on G. Some leaf litter in spots but nothing that impacted smooth skiing.
One ungraceful wipe out trying to brake for the herd of deer that crossed in front of me. I'm sure they got a good snicker out of me landing on my back as they bounded off into the woods.
