Morning
Firsthand: Freestyle 
[ Trails Open: All, B skis ]
Trails are settling some from two warm days above freezing. A few sections have mud or grass patches showing up but with cooldown and chance of new snow tomorrow should be able to be skied and perhaps even will get some grooming to flatten sections out more. Most of the system is still fully covered and nice to ski. Classic track is holding up well but have to step around a few spots.

First time here to enjoy trails along Rum River parks in Cambridge. Parking is kind of tricky to figure out first time. The trails have not been rolled since last snow so not too flat, but not overly difficult to ski. Even a diagonal track is present on side of skate area. Nice that no walkers have been on the trails, almost unbelievable compared to other areas. This is a nice track, so close to Cambridge city that great to come and ski, then could visit restaurant in town to relax afterward. I will be back.

Grooming 
[ Trails Open: Most, B skis ]
Trails have been packed twice but not enough snow to set diagonal tracks. Course is OK for skiing. We left snow on the right side of course for diagonal skiers to ski in their own grooves and these seem to be holding up. The skate lane is firm but parts of trail are very thin and some dirt/grass is exposed. We have 5k open to ski but we need more snow to fully set all tracks.
