Very fun skiing today. I don't think it's been groomed since last snow, but someone else has been packing the tracks. No notable debris; there was lots of powder, and was lightly glazed in some areas.

Skated on pulverized crust over solid base. Lumpy in places especially where people have been walking. Only a few spots with grass or dirt poking through, but 'B' skis because of the debris from the high winds all over the trail - seeds, bark, twigs. Classic tracks glazed.

Trail survived the meltdown. Skate deck was combed early this morning and left a nice 1/2 inch of powder on top. Skated with best skis. Classic tracks looked only slightly glazed.

A lovely little trail system, the grooming was very good. Nice wide trail for both skate and classic. The classic tracks were not real deep, but that wasn't an issue. A few bits of grass poking through, but we had no problems with our good skiis. It was really nice to ski on real snow. It was really beautiful, and surprisingly protected from the wind, right along the Sauk River. To find the access, go around to the back of the high school from the south, drive in as far as you can go, and you will find the trail.

Tracks are set and full coverage throughout. Skate lane is open as well. With cold overnight temps, snow has set up nicely.

Fully rolled and packed. No classic tracks yet (check back tomorrow). Full coverage with only a few bits of grass poking through the the windblown sections.

Sauk Centre is back in the snow belt! Rolled trails this afternoon and put down a solid base. More snow is falling! Plan to roll and set tracks tomorrow. Trails are free to use and no state trail pass required. Trails are part of Sauk Centre Community Ed and are maintained by volunteer.
