Afternoon
Firsthand: Freestyle 
[ Trails Open: All, Good skis ]
Skied classic and skate. The classic tracks are good except for a few spots. The skate deck is firm and with the couple of inches of lake effect snow today, there is ample snow for edging and control.

Firsthand: Classic 
[ Trails Open: All, B skis ]
I classical, diagonal stride, skied CLCF midday today. Solid snow cover, grooming excellent, set diagonal tracks good, firm. Skate deck good, firm but not ice. Fair amount of wind blown debris in the tracks might push the diagonal rating to B skis.

Afternoon
Firsthand: Freestyle 
[ Trails Open: All, Good skis ]
Skating at CLCF this afternoon was good. Full coverage on all trails. However, steep hills are becoming hard with what little powder there is pushed to the side. Thus, skating up them requires better balance than, say, last Saturday when there were powder everywhere to get a clean skate-off without slipping. Classic tracks remain solid, with only a little debris catching in the tracks.

Morning
Firsthand: Classic 
[ Trails Open: Most, Good skis ]
Out this Mid-morning. Skied the entire classic track system a couple of times. Of course Jerry was just finishing up grooming the entire skate trail system....again. Classic tracks were even firmer than yesterday and faster too. 16 degrees F and Toko dark blue carbon gave good kick and great glide. Fox Hill Nordic is in really great shape.

Afternoon
Firsthand: Classic 
[ Trails Open: Most, Good skis ]
Skied everywhere there were classic tracks set. 13 degrees F. Used skin skis with good grip and marginal glide. Another skier reported good success with Blue Extra. The tracks were really good! ( that's just a bit below great and not quite perfect). Deep set and held up well except in the corners and a few of the usual washout spots. But really good! No bare ground and little to no debris. Woods Loop, Upper Fields, Truck Lane, Apple Tree Hill and the Prairie Loop all tracked and ready to go. Skate deck was firm and fast and groomed throughout the system.

Morning
Firsthand: Freestyle 
[ Trails Open: All, B skis ]
Decent coverage in open fields with some debris. Woods continue to thin. Base becoming hard packed with recent traffic but control remains good - solid B skiing. Timely and exquisite grooming over past week gave us some great skiing!

Morning
Grooming 
[ Trails Open: All, Good skis ]
Classic tracks were set yesterday evening on the upper fields and around the parking lot area. They're not great but better than the skied in. The skate lanes in the fields were scarified this morning as the trails are becoming hard packed, but overall good coverage.

Grooming 
[ Trails Open: All, B skis ]
All trails were groomed for skate this morning with the exception of the east and fox loop in the woods. Conditions remain good for the field trails but thin in the woods with some debris.
