Frank K. braved the blustery conditions this morning with the Scandic and roller to pack down yesterday's 12" snowfall. Wind conditions are suppose to settle a bit mid-morning tomorrow so we plan to go out again with the Tidd Tech in hopes to firm up the skate lane and set a new classical track. Dress warm and enjoy!

Classic skied the Three Eagle Trail today, the tracks were nice and deep with good speed. The skate deck was also good. This is the third time I've skied this trail this year and each time the trail has been in very good condition. The groomers have been doing a fantastic job this year especially since there has not been a lot of snow.

Two inches of new snow was groomed and tracked late morning with nice results. The skate lane was also refreshed Friday afternoon. Many Thanks to James M. for his efforts.

The trail has been groomed twice in the last three days, thanks to James M. A new striding track was set yesterday and skiers reported conditions were a bit soft, but should improve with use.

Pleasantly surprised to find very good conditions on the entire trail system beginning from Three Lakes to Eagle River; plenty of snow on the three bridges that connect trail system. The classical tracks looked very good too.

Last night's snowfall left us with about an inch of wet snow. Not ideal for grooming but was able to comb the skate deck and set a new track with decent results. I would still recommend using the B skis on the striding track until we get another decent snowfall.

Well groomed, but well used, the Three Eagle is valuable in times like these. No hills, but a firm base, clean deck, and something akin to a track. In bad winters, this trail remains one of the finest opportunities around. On the good side, with five bridges, in a usual winter, wind blow can wipe out the track. No such problem here, today! Oh well...very beautiful, very enjoyable.

Classic tracks are nice and smooth with plenty of snow and nice tracks laid. Bit of a dusty stretch near the middle with a small amount of grit on the tracks. Skate deck looked good as far as I noticed. Some hiker and dog footprints on the edge of the skate deck in a few spots, but not too severe anywhere. Thanks groomers!

Skating deck was in good shape and well covered. Lots of hiker footprints at west trailhead. I noticed the no hiking on ski trail sign was on old gate and people can’t see it. Kudos to groomers for laying down a good track.

Grooming plans: We had intentions to refresh the skate deck and repair the damage from a snowmobile that breached the gate over the past weekend. But due to heavy use, lack of new snowfall and warmer temps there is little we can do with the grooming until we get more snow.
