Just finished grooming and tracking all loops. Nice deep track and the skate deck is pretty firm. Trail is in great shape.

Rolled and combed trails. Lots of nice new snow. Did the skate track only. No classic track set yet. Snow and conditions are very good, even in the sections of heavy pines. Grooming plans: Likely tomorrow when trails set up a bit better, we will track it.

Packed and combed all loops. Did not set track. Up to 12" of new snow. There are a few sections where the cover is still a bit thin and some rocks and roots are lurking just under the surface. It is also still soft in places. There was one skater out and they weren't digging in too bad. The single track bike trails have already seen a good number of snowshoers so they are well packed. The parking lot had not yet been plowed when I left at 2:30. Grooming plans: Hope to groom and set track tomorrow.

Groomed and tracked all loops. The track is shallow in spots. The tracker bottomed out in places. Also some leaves pulled up. Probably about 80% of the track is good. Skate deck is getting flatter but is still a bit rough in places.

Rolled and combed all loops there is no track set. Not sure if there is enough snow to set track, will try in the next couple of days.

Rolled all loops yesterday. Found a tree partially across the trail. Removed the tree this afternoon. The trail is rock hard ice under a couple of inches of packed snow. Use caution if you decide to ski.

Groomed all loops. Different results on different sections of the trail. Set track where I could. The trail on the north side is beautiful, nice, deep track with no debris. The lake side is could not be described as beautiful. The groomer pulled up lots of leaves and some dirt. The trail is skiable but be aware of the debris and don't use your good skis.

Rolled all loops this morning. Trail is very rough. Dirt and leaves pulled up in spots. Coverage is thin on some sections.

Trails are cleared and mowed. A few hung up trees still to be removed by City. Some handwork by hikers would be helpful. Enjoy these fall days!
