Secondhand

I called the U of M Center for Outdoor Recreation at 10:30 a.m. and got the word that the U of M golf course will be groomed at track set "within two hours." I plan to be there when it's done!

Firsthand: Freestyle 
[ Trails Open: All, Rock skis ]
Great flow to the new, wide, roughly 6km 2-loop design at the U of M golf course - thanks, groomers. Good coverage in most places, but rock skis are recommended due to occasional cart paths and frequent grassy hilltops. Looks like both loops have been skied in both directions. Great destination for a fun, easy ski.

Firsthand: Freestyle 
[ Trails Open: All, B skis ]
Skate skied the trails Tuesday night and it was beautiful! As previously stated, there are now only two loops, one short and one long. The snow was a little soft and there is some grass poking through on the tops of hills, but otherwise a very wonderful ski! It was fun ski the new loops - the longer one takes you all over to some new terrain. Thanks, groomers!

Afternoon
Grooming 
[ Trails Open: Most, B skis ]
Groomed the trails this afternoon. Thin coverage, but it seemed to be setting up Ok. Obviously not enough snow to lay dow a classic track. I have re-routed the course this year into two loops instead of three. Lengthened them both and tried to connect low areas that hold snow better and avoid tree work and some of the hills that always seem to be bare and windblown.

Afternoon
Firsthand: Classic 
[ Good skis ]
It looked like they had rolled a skate trail late yesterday. No classic tracks other than those set by skiers. Good coverage and very lightly used. Only a few spots on hilltops where grass blades are peeking through so better than I expected.

Secondhand 
[ Trails: Closed ]
I emailed the U to see what their plans were for grooming and this is the response I got: Grooming will not happen until we have at least 4 inches of snow, so we will need to wait until the next heavy snow to begin grooming. We can keep you updated as the snow continues!.
