Blue Mound SP

Rating good because of the great coverage.
Skied the entire classic trail system, save for the steep uphill on the yellow loop. I used my slightly-wide metal-edged touring skis, which I think was a necessity. Temperature was about 40F when I arrived around 2 pm. Coverage was good throughout the trail system, with only a few easily avoidable bare spots. The main thin part I noticed was the exposed part of the Military Ridge Trail Access next to the prairie, where there is only an inch or two of snow on top of asphalt. I would be careful through there, since it is on a downhill. Beyond that, the usual spot under the pine grove on the Pleasure Valley Trail (orange loop) was thin and dirty. Incredibly, even though it was well above freezing, the trails on the north/east side of the mound were still quite firm/hard-packed. Pretty much no melting. There's still a deep base on that side of the mound (6"+), although all of the foot and ski ruts make it a bit of a rough ride. As a side note, I did ask park staff about their decision not to groom over the last couple of weeks, and it sounded like they didn't want to groom due to the past rain and the current freeze/thaw cycles creating a hardpack.
