Valhalla has received a few inches of new snow this week. The Teuton side of the system was groomed and tracked on Wednesday. The Valkyrie side was partially groomed and tracked on today. Plan to complete on Friday. Conditions are good.

Teuton skate/classic trails groomed. Track setter hydrolytic not working so track setter is wiggly. I'd ski outside the track on the downhills.

Plenty of snow here! Skate skied the C loop of the Teuton trail from 2-3 PM on Saturday. It must have been groomed relatively recently, but there was a 2 inch layer of light fluff on top. I was the first person to ski the C loop. There were effectively two classic tracks set by skiers on the A and B portion, I felt like a trespasser skiing over a track but I know it wasn't supposed to be like that, and there's definitely not enough room for two classic tracks and a skating surface. Overall it was a very nice day to be out in the woods. The trail is perfectly skiable, the snow is light enough that it's relatively easy to skate on still. Hopefully it gets groomed again soon!

Teuton side of Valhalla trail system was groomed on Thursday. Grooming plans: Valkyrie side of the trail system will be groomed, and the entire system will be tracked on Friday. The C loop on the Valkyrie side of the trail system is long, hilly and requires extra effort to groom. This trail will be the last to be packed and groomed and is currently still powder, other than one lap from a snowmobile to settle the snow.

Classic skied a little bit of Teuton, and what I saw was packed and tracked very nicely. A tad slow due to blowing snow.

Valhalla trails received over a foot of snow early in the week. The entire trail system has been rolled, and there is currently a good 12 inches base. Grooming plans: Grooming and track setting will occur on Friday and Saturday. Grooming will begin with the Teuton side and progress to the Valkyrie side. The C loop on the Valkyrie side of the trail system is long, hilly and requires extra effort to groom. This trail will be the last to be packed and groomed and is currently still powder, other than one lap from a snowmobile to settle the snow. Trails are gorgeous right now.

The Valkyrie side (East--Classic Only) has only A and B loops tracked, with C rolled/packed, no tracks. The Teuton side definitely needs some work on track setting. Since the trails are all one way, I was confused as to why there are two sets of classic tracks leading out from the parking lot. Eventually, it goes down to one set, but regardless of where they are, they are all too close to center--so no griping warranted at any skaters who've gone over them; they really can't help it. Low enough traffic overall so that the classic tracks didn't get damaged, at least. Good snow depth in general, and trees definitely great for the wind break on these wind-advisory days!

Skated all of the Teuton trails today and they're in really good shape overall. Mostly pretty firm surface, with a few softer areas. The classic track has been set closer to the middle of the trail, which makes for an impossibly narrow skate lane to avoid messing up the tracks, sorry classic skiers! Mostly the tracks look to be in great shape other than that. Definitely would use good skis.

Skied both sides of the road classic. On the classic only side, all loops were tracked except the longer C loop which had only been packed. On the other side all trails had been groomed. The skate deck was variable width and at times is was too narrow so skate skiers had to ski on the classic tracks with minimal damage. There were classic tracks set except on the last 1/2 of the B loop.

Snow Conditions: Base is 6 inches, packed/groomed. The entire trail system has been groomed and track set. Trails are gorgeous right now.
