The pattern of ski tracks at the U of M golf course was nearly as random as the pattern of a squirrel scampering across a lawn and I did my best to make it look even more so. The best tracks were the ones you made yourself because untouched snow was deep, but tracks bottomed out after just one or two people used them.

Garage sale skiing. There are quite a few people getting out. As of Friday evening classic trails were snow covered, but that will quickly change. Mostly trails are going every which way as a sign of people happy to be skiing for the first time this year!

Plenty of snow on the U of MN golf course early this afternoon. Several skiers out enjoying the sunshine and the skied in or “make your own” trails. Some clumping up of our waxless Peltonen touring skis, but overall a great day to tune up for winter!
