A beautiful sunny day at two degrees above zero and calm. I skied Green to Blue Return and around long Red Trail to Yellow and Orange Trail. After one inch of new snow yesterday, everywhere I skied has been skied into the previous set track. Still good glide/kick combo today.

The classic track was great everywhere I skied, well formed after recent grooming. It was about 8 degrees and sunny today. I skied Green, Orange, long Blue Loop, short Red Loop and Yellow to return.

Sunny, 14 above, about 3" of dense new snow - great grooming weather. 2 sleds, 2 Ginzus, 2 happy groomers got everything done on Tilson Creek this morning. Trail and tracks look good.

Sunny. A little ice in Green Swamp Trail. Blue, Orange and Red were crystaline and soft in spots but no hard ice. There is still good snow cover despite recent rain. Classic tracks in good shape and well formed.

The track was nice and fast, still well formed on Green, Blue and Orange. Far back Blue toward Voyageurs was a little slower with a skied in track. 21° sunny.

Thanks to the groomers who did an excellent job setting new classic tracks a few days ago. The best glide I have had for weeks. Skater tracks looked like it was good for them too. I skied the Blue Return Loop and around the Red. It was fun to be able to ski Red Loop again with good snow and track.

Quite cold, very sunny, nice day to groom. We used both Ginzus on all trail segments. The tracks are good, skate deck already fairly firm.

In cold sunshine today we used both Ginzus on all trail segments. The Little Blue Hill trail is good to ski now, just watch the ridge tops. Sometimes the skate corduroy looked ratty but usually it's fine. The tracks are good.

All are open, but no grooming in last week after about 4 inches of snow. I skied in 1 inch of snow in tracks on Blue long loop and then Yellow. Others had skied in Green and Orange. At blue shelter, Voyageurs Park had snowmobile packed their trail up to the shelter. -8° but calm, so was a beautiful full sunny day to ski.

-1° F at start and windy in parking lot through Green Swamp Trail. Once I got in woods it was pretty calm and enjoyable skiing. There was about 2" of new snow on top of tracked trail on Orange Loop but several skiers had skied the tracks in. I went on Blue Loop which had about 2 inches of unskied new snow, and I skied over into the old tracks. Obviously slowed my glide but light enough to ski through ok. I went from old shelter on far end of Blue Trail toward VNP. Trail was snowmobile packed in past but no discerable classic track set, but I was able to go through about 4" of light snow because of solid base.
