Significantly more skiers out today vs Friday mid day but the groomers were out taking care of the trails. There were a few more spots where debris was poking through thin spots, but those were easy to ski around. Overall great ski, thanks crew!

Skied classic from 8-10 am. Track was in good shape most everywhere. A few washed out sections, occasional leaf and bark debris. I'd estimate 98% good. Kicked with the Star/Caldwell Beta M16, worked well on all but the steepest climb for me.

Skate and classic both looked great. I skated the Fairway, Hill Trail, Timber and Prairie Trails. All were in good to excellent condition with a few trail connectors kicked out and some tree debris in sections. Most were corduroy with only a few other people out. Really enjoyed the ski.

Lots of snow. Classic track needs a reset, washed out on edges in many places. Skating looked excellent.

Excellent conditions. Classic tracks in great shape. Hit the icy subfloor a few times but never any dirt.

Awesomely awesome. Best classic conditions that I have skied this season. I was skiing late morning and the groomer was making another pass on the skate deck, which looked great to begin with. Rex Green Powergrip with a few coats of Rex green on top did the trick for kick. Surprisingly good glide, given the cold temps.

The trails were great - get out there! Sure there was a bit of grass showing on the connector to the island trail due to the crown in that area, and some ice here and there but I was pleasantly surprised by the conditions - 99.857% coverage! I skied the outer loops (Island, Timber, Prairie) twice and would come back tomorrow to avoid the man made crowds at the other popular parks. Also, there is a track on 90% of the trails.

I agree with the Three Rivers rating of fair. It's definitely worth going out, just be prepared for some icy sections. The trails were groomed today but there are icy sections and a fair amount of sticks (this is why I said B skis). The Island Trail and the trail leading out to it would be poor-to-fair, with icy sections and was the least enjoyable part of the ski. Also, the first 200 yards of the trail is very icy but don't let this deter you as it gets better. Be prepared for the downhills as they are fast and you might have to dodge a few sticks and possibly an icy spot or two. The trails are still very skiable and the icy/crusty conditions are only scattered throughout the trail.

Classic skied the entire course using my good skis. Tracks in good shape. Some scattered oak leaves and a couple thin spots but nothing that made me get out of the tracks.

(Kathy Bjornson)

Skied everything but Evergreen. Skate deck was nice and firm and the classic track looked good. Occasional spots of dirty snow, most are easily avoidable, but there is some gravel mixed into with the snow right at the merge of Fairway and Prairie that was hard to avoid. Otherwise really nice conditions.
