Battle Creek was groomed this morning. Doug and I tag teamed the work. New classic tracks were set on the 5K Silver trail. World Cup/Gold trail was freshened up with new tracks set on the A Climbs. Ski Games trail just had the skate lane freshened up. Tracks were not reset since they are very good right now. The JOC ball field was also done with new tracks and refreshed skate lane.

Classic track was in good shape and no leaves to mess up the kick zone. Down hills were fast and much of the snow was skied off on the steepest bits. Overall a fun morning.

Groomed all trails, Ski Games, but no JOC grooming. Reset most of the classic tracks throughout system. Give the last big downhill a good point and tuck, should be a pretty fun ride!
Note: Thursday, Jan 30th, there is a large HS Conference Meet from 9:00a to 4:00p.

We groomed the Gold loop and set new classic tracks this morning. The trail is just a little soft but really in amazing condition. Enjoy!

I skied some of the best conditions all year this morning on the Gold, Silver, Bronze trails. Skate deck is set just enough to highlight the fresh snow from the last few nights. Get out there and enjoy this mild weather and fast snow!

Classic skied all trails and Silver and Gold were in the best shape. The Games trail was a bit pushed out and soft and could use a fresh grooming. Hard to complain when you have this great of coverage. This winter has been awesome! Lots of skiers enjoying the day.

Skating lane on Gold, Silver, Bronze and Ski Games trails nicely resurfaced. Lots of skiers out touring and training.

Fantastic day. Was out after John and Dave finished grooming. Hats off to all these guys that are volunteers for Ramsey County. They do a phenomenal job of grooming the trails daily and many times late at night to ready the trails for high school ski meets. Please thank them if you see them out! Skied the Gold and Silver loops multiple times and skate deck was already starting to set up well. Best hills in the metro for Birkie training in my opinion. Skate deck is now perfectly flat. Get out and enjoy!

Gold, Silver and Bronze trails were groomed this morning. Three passes on the skate lanes and we removed and then reset the classic track. BC has plenty of snow and conditions were very good. Should set up well for the weekend.

Skied the Silver Trail this morning. No grooming today but the 1-2" of new snow on the trail skied well. The base under the new snow was firm but not icy. The tracks looked good and when I jumped they were solid.
