Skied in the tracks over the last two days (not groomed since last snow) and many thanks to the other skiers who also skied in the tracks. Made for very pleasant times on the trails despite they were not recently groomed. Disappointed I missed the walker who walked on top of our skied in tracks!

First ski of the season and very thankful to Barry and crew for a wonderful ski today. Given the amount of snow, the ski trail was quite nice. The current trail plan allows many options for walkers, snowshoers, and dogs to stay off the tracked ski trails. Pleased to see most folks found a way to do that. Safer for us skinny ski folks. So happy to be skiing in Springvale again!

Nicely tracked trails for diagonal skiing. Conditions are early season with some grass sticking up through track. Some dirt areas and even a few asphalt trail crossings with bare spots. But all intrusions are easily avoided by stepping over or around. So much of the trail is just a treat to ski as central MN woods are represented in stunning fashion. It appears the groomers are trying to make multi-use trails with some of the areas, and also added fat tire single track trails through the woods. Skiing to far end of the park and back to car took just under an hour.
