Great skating! The field is in good shape, while the wooded trail has some soft debris poking through. While the new extension has been groomed, it's hairy; rock skis recommended.

Beautiful sunny day for our first ski of the year! A bit soft, not tracked for classic quite yet but a well packed skate deck. New loop in the prairie is a great addition.

I classic skied the whole loop. It is groomed; no tracks set. Still a little soft as one would expect from 6-8" overnight. A few sticks poking up through the snow in the lower lying sections. Thank you to the groomers for getting this beautiful trail ready so quickly!

Skied the new trail loop. 1+km loop was added on the west side of rice creek. In contrast to the east side of the creek, the new loop is mostly flat. Trail crew was out connecting a final little section. Thank you for this great addition!
