First time on these trails. Enjoyed myself. A good variety of terrain. Skate deck is solid.

Skate skied some short loops today and the skate deck is in excellent shape. There is tree litter but not enough to affect much. Good skiing for your good skis.

Great weather and great trail conditions at Tomahawk park today. Skate deck was recently groomed and is flat and smooth. I did the outer yellow skate loop and smiled the entire way. The rest stop on the yellow loop provided a needed break and beautiful view. Thanks groomers.

Groomed all the skate lanes today. Couldn't set new classic tracks due to the hard deck even with teeth down. No matter, as the classic tracks are in good shape even though not full depth. There is a bit of debris with the winds we've had. Overall the trails are in great shape and ready for skiing this weekend.

Took a lovely trip around the 8ish km yellow loop today. Pros: fresh dusting of snow to cover the debris the wind blew around yesterday, skied in tracks, and a wolf had very recently enjoyed the trail, too! Cons: tracks could be deeper, and there is an occasional ridge in the skate deck. Word on the streets is the groomer (Scott) had to bail early to get his mother-in-law's car out of a snowbank but will be back soon to fix things up for weekend skiers.

Groomed the entire outer trail and the classic loop. The bit of fluffy snow has covered any leaves or debris. The skate lane is in excellent condition. The classic track needed to be set again and even with the use of teeth wasn't able to get a full depth set. However, after it gets skied in a little it should be in good condition. The deck and tracks are both firm and flat. Enjoy and stay warm!

First time skiing beautiful Tomahawk Lake Ski Trail (Whitetail Turnpike) and was super impressed! The grooming was excellent for both skate and classic. As we were leaving, someone was even coming to groom up the trail on a Saturday afternoon. This will definitely be one of our regular ski locations. It is 100% worth the nice drive out to Barnes!

Terrific skating conditions! This groomer is impeccable! Much appreciated, thanks! Classic tracks looked great too.

Groomed the outer yellow loop both skate and classic. Was pleased to see virtually all the leaves buried. Didn't need to groom the classic as it is nicely skied in after about the inch of snow that fell. Trail is leveling and firming up nicely.

Groomed all trails today. Both skate and classic look great! There are small areas with oak leaves due to the wind. Best conditions of the year.
