Good coverage for skate dwck abd classic tracks. Only a few easily avoidwd gravel in 5he campground loop. I skated a liitle bit and it was good. THE Oak Nature Trail had rocksand dirt on the final end of trail hilk climb I did not ski on the sledding hill or XC hill because there …
What a joy! Blue sky, full sun and excellent skiing. The skate deck at 1:30 was firm corduroy, a dusting of loose snow, just enough to make edging easy. (The classic tracks looked good, as well.) Amazing grooming! A day like today demonstrates the mission of the CXC can be realized. Snowmaking and great grooming …
Haven’t been to CXC in a couple weeks, impressed with the snowmaking loop work. Freshly groomed, firm hard deck. Plunge felt safe, plenty of control. You can make a nice little loop with a couple big climbs. The out and back on the power lines (round -a -lot?) was thin but worth a ski and …
I skied at around 1:00PM yesterday as Yuriy was grooming the trail. Contrary to another report from yesterday, skating looked perfect on the upper part of the loop and on the two climbs to the left, with well groomed corduroy. The classic tracks were better than the previous day. Obviously more snow is needed and …
poor by cxc standards -ungroomed boiler plate -golf course very thin, uneven and ungroomed. man-made loop needs some serious tilling
Classic skied on 1/24, night and day difference between prior midweek grooming. Unlevel, rutted, debris everywhere. Skate ski on Sunday 1/25, night and day difference from yesterday, more level, less ruts, less debris, cold and hard. What was poor I would grade fair/good. I used my B skis. Some track was removed on lower soccer …
Attempted to groom yesterday, but too many bare spots. Closed until we get more snow.
I skied the entire trail system. There are currently no machine-made tracks, though some sections have usable skier-made tracks. Coverage is generally good, but it’s starting to thin in a few predictable spots, most notably on the initial descent into the campground and under the pine grove in Pleasure Valley. Some drifting has also occurred …
Skied the CXC trails at 2:00 pm. Base is hard and crusty but skiable. Base is very thin 10% or so, lotsa grass and ground up leaves in the deck. Groomers doing the best they can with what's there. New natural or more man-made snow desperately needed. Pleasant View trails similar but have more sections …
A Finn told me that I needed to work on my sisu so I went out. Fair bit of grass showing through the tracks. Thanks to the groomers for setting the tracks!
