Trail Detail
Notes
A nice set of trails with rolling hills. The first lighted trail system in the metro, it still attracts a lot of after-work skiers.Trail Reports

Skate deck was fast but hard and icy. Classic tracks were heavily worn and starting to ice up. Minor rutting in spots, and someone fell on the "steep hill" into Sky leaving a nasty rut right in the center of the trail. The downhill sections were getting a hard to control due to the ice. Not a good night for skiing.

Fair conditions. Classical skied this afternoon. Snow was soft from yesterday's rain, this morning's sun, and this afternoon's warmth. Tracks were extant, but not firm. In some places, while the trail maintained its shape, it was a translucent slush. Downhills were fast if you stayed in the tracks or in the middle of the skating lane, but you slowed quickly if you got into the slightly thicker snow on the sides. Generally slow, but you know what? I had a really good time.

Great grooming and wonderful conditions, I'd say the best of the season. And it was a beautiful, sunny day to be out. This latest snowfall was a gift! I was skating, but was with a friend who was skiing classic and the tracks were great and he also thought the conditions were wonderful.

Lots of washboading and icy spots. Tough getting an edge in open areas. Skyline and Medicine had best snow.

Very icy. The classic tracks were washed out in many places and super icy in others. There was washboarding on the skate path everywhere.

Snow was soft where the sun was shining and a bit icy in the shade. All trails were washboards in parts. The washboards are all over at this park, especially the strait sections. Walkers have been all over the trails today too. Classic tracks were very shallow. Hopefully the groomer will smooth things out tonight.

The skate deck was hard but very very fast with light washboarding on much of it. The wetland area on the Skyline trail had probably the worst washboarding. The left side of the trail was smooth but a touch icy. All the climbs were smooth and fast with a nice light layer of sugar snow, the descents were very fast. It was a nice fast skiing night with almost nobody else out.

Skated the outermost trails. Was a blast, with great temps, trails in good shape, nice snow everywhere. Increasing numbers of leaves but not too much to worry about. The Lagoon trail seemed a little bit more "wild" than the rest of the trails, a little more beat up and leafy but it was still great overall.
