Overall there's decent coverage on the red and yellow trails. However, in the classic track there are frequent areas that are covered with debris or really, really, thin.

Attempted a skate ski this morning on blue and green. Some segments were too narrow to skate (e. g., boardwalk) and the entire skate deck was uneven throughout. Lots of leaves and other scattered debris, and some thin spots, and the classic tracks looked to have debris throughout our route. That said, would have probably had more success on classic gear, but decided to move on. Nonetheless, we appreciate the efforts of the nature center, and trust their "intro to cross country skiing" class later this morning had a grand time.

Ski trails on Navarino were groomed on Monday. Snow base is about 6" of solid base with a couple of inches of light snow on top. Double tracked for going out and coming back, with a skate ski deck in between. Snowshoers are advised to use the packed snowshoe trails and to stay off the ski trails. New winter trail maps are available.

Groomer was out working the fresh snow and the trails were in great condition. Classic track set and look nice and the skate deck was in good shape.

All ski trails have been regroomed after receiving an additional 6" snow on Tuesday / Wednesday. Trails are groomed for traditional skiing, additional trails for snowshoeing and walking.

Enjoyed an evening classic ski. Many thin areas with dirt and leaves exposed but easy to avoid. B skis recommended.

All cross-country ski trails and snowshoe trails are open on the Navarino Wildlife Area. Snow depth is about 6". Trails are packed and tracked for traditional skiing. Additional trails are just packed for snowshoe and walking. Sledding hill is packed for sledders.
