All trails rolled today in preparation for upcoming combing and tracking. Okay for skating, although soft. No classic track set.

Skate deck within the golf course was well maintained, hard packed and icy in spots but passable. Skate deck in the woods was covered in leaves and twigs making it tough going.

Skied the south loop in the classic track. Had to take skis off and walk a number of times. Conditions quite poor.

I skated the north and south loops at Chomonix - good snow coverage throughout as far as I could tell using a headlamp. The snow on the north loop was hard and icy, especially in the wooded, multi-use sections. Also played in the ungroomed snow a bit adjacent the north loop trail following the lead of the one other pair of skaters I saw, and that was good in comparison. The southern loop snow was just a touch softer and more enjoyable. A nice night for a ski considering the recent day/night temperatures.

Combed and tracked today. Skate deck in good condition. Considering thin, icy base, classic track in pretty good condition. With low temps to set, good conditions should hold for a few days.

All trails combed this afternoon. Skate deck in good condition, although soft. The golf course was tracked, fair condition with shallow and icy areas. The Woods (north loop) was not tracked.

Skijored the mult-use trail at Chomonix. The trail was in fantastic condition. Fresh corduroy. No bare patches. Two icy spots but they were easy to go around.

Skied the golf course loop. Groomed but no classic tracks. No bare spots and very little ice. They seem to be using the current snow as a base waiting for more snow to lay classic tracks?

Golf Course was groomed and tracked. Woods loop was groomed but insufficient base for track. Expect good conditions.

Dusted off some X-Cold gripwax and headed out for a beautiful sunrise ski. Tracks were in great shape, just a few sections of leaves and washouts. Great snow coverage. There was fresh powder over a rolled deck. The off-camber section returning from the south had 2 spots where ski marks had exposed some asphalt, showing the base is still thin. Per the Park Planner the north section from the YMCA is multiuse again this year, which my skijor buddy is very happy about! Thank you Anoka Parks.
