Groomed for skate and classic. Tracks are deep in most but not all spots. Look out for the oak leaves.

Skate skijored the multi-use green loop. Rolled nicely for skating, with new snow falling. We walked this full loop and picked every branch we could get our hands on before it snowed on the 26th, so it was smooth skating today. A few lumpy rollers and grass poking through on Geo Watch side but we have coverage! Wirth and Elm manmade loops are always awesome for training but this was a fun change.

Chomonix was groomed today for skate only. The snow is not deep enough for classic tracks. The snow was pretty soft and hit the base a few times with my skis. Someone had walked on the skate deck on the north trails (north of the gold course parking lot) The new south loop route is great though!

Trails were just starting to be groomed when I left, skate deck only so far. I was skijoring in self made tracks which was perfect!

Chomonix was not rolled or packed yet, which was a little disappointing. There are skier-made tracks that are decent but nothing is machine groomed yet. Hopefully Anoka County gets there soon.

Not groomed but skied-in tracked enough to have solid classic tracks. It was absolutely lovely! Beautiful 30 degrees and sunny. Skied (classical) about 30 min out and 30 min back, but other routes (loops) available. Trail was mostly through the golf course but then merged into a multi-use trail with similar conditions.
