All trails were groomed this morning and are in excellent condition. Classic track is set and skate lane is firming up.

We both skied classic in the morning, and the skiing was great. The groomer was out in the morning and most tracks were set by the afternoon. Lots of snow. Thank you, groomer! My daughter skated in the afternoon, but the base was pretty soft with the fresh snow.

Excellent grooming, track set. We classic skied but I would imagine skate would be a bit soft still. Thanks to the groomers!

All trails are tracked and in good condition. One rough spot on the first advance loop where we got stuck otherwise no bare ground or rocks. Grooming plans: Plan to groom again Wednesday afternoon.

Trail had been packed and rolled - skier tracked (quite narrow tracks). Picked up downed branches as we went along the outer loop. Some grass poking through but mostly fully covered. Good conditions for first opening on the trail this year. Thank you groomers for getting out so quickly after the new snow!

Snowed about three inches today. Skate lanes only, no classic track set, not enough snow. Trail is skiable but just barely, lots of bumps and thin spots. Hoping for more snow next week...

Trails appear closed at this time. Grass showing throughout.

Great for early season, some grass and sticks poking through especially in the classic tracks. Definitely worth the drive up from Duluth with pals :).

Trails in reasonably good shape with some grass and small rocks at the surface in a few places. Great skiing but could use more snow. 3K lighted trail in good shape.

The 5k loop had good coverage with just a few thin spots in the Balsam Firs near Hwy 2. The East side was a bit lumpy and the tracks disappeared in a few spots.
