Best conditions ever, Bryan Pike. The boys came up and we skied 21 K today. The center trails were outstanding in the sunshine today.

Thank you, Brainerd Ski Club groomers! They have done an incredible amount of work this week. Just skied the new tracks that were set. A bit soft, but it was fantastic and not a single leaf! A few short connectors haven't been fully groomed. The skate deck should firm up!

Re-groomed nearly all trail segments - exception is the upper, interior classic trail (black/difficult). All skate lanes and new track done for good weekend skiing.

After 10 inches of snow and wind in Deerwood I beat down many drifts with the snowmobile. Once drifts were knocked down a bit, I pulled the roller to pack. No tracks yet. Soft base needs to freeze and firm up. Grooming plans: Tracks to be set later in the week.

Groomed the outside loop--skate lane and set new track in -5 temps. Should set up fast. Also set new track on portions of the lower inside segments. If I only had a nickel for every stick I picked up.

Trails in excellent shape. Went on the easy and more difficult classis trails. Some leaves but no impact on skiing.

Thanks to Mother Nature and our great groomer! Deerwood area skiers have been really spoiled lately. Skiing this afternoon was simply spectacular.

1.5 " of fluff last night. Groomed all skate lanes and set new track on all segments. Leaves? What leaves!

Thanks for the excellent re-grooming Friday morning, and thanks for posting the groomer's report that prompted me to get out on the trails. The striding tracks were perfect, and the skating deck appeared to be likewise. Much appreciated!

Three inches of new snow. Groomed all trail segments and set new tracks. Made two passes on skate deck to firm it up as much as possible.
