Skien in the Rain! Interesting ski this am. Ungroomed with areas of patchy ice and debris. Pole plants from firm to pole grab to pole sinkholes as surprising how soft some of the trail was. Downhills were fast but controllable-still out on the flats around ball diamond you could rally cruise -almost faster double polling …
•Could use a lot more on trail, ‘this way / wrong way’ signage •Compared to other venues, Uridge sets their 2 Classic tracks way too close to each other.. kinda dangerous. Given the available width and sparse striders, they’d be better with just a single track centered on a firmly roll base. •If there’s any …
•Beautiful, challenging trails •Could use a lot more on trail, ‘this way / wrong way’ signage •Right-most track set too close to rolled edge, so you’re constantly poling into unsupportive powder
Plenty of snow, though highly packed in some places. Prairie trail seemed groomed fairly recently. Woodland trail had been groomed longer ago but was fine for an enjoyable ski.
CXC and PV trails are the best they've been so far this year! Awesome glide! Amazing how much glide you get when its 28F vs 0F..A tad windy causing some drifting in spots. Could really cruise on the southern flat portion of the golf course!
Molly the Groomer did an exceptionally great job of laying fresh corduroy for a fast, silky smooth, silent ski. I skated all the loops (concentrically) in just over an hour. Classic tracks looked good, too. Simply the BEST!
Was out about 11:00am and grooming was going on at the time. Thanks!!!! With the warmer temps and fresh grooming, today was really fun. So nice not to have to wear 8 layers of clothing. As noted, there was some debris, most of which was coming up from the parking lot. Windy by the ball …
Very windy out there today. 50% of the track in Pleasant View was filled with drifting snow. Even the skating lane looked quite soft and had a lot of drifted snow.
All trails groomed at tracked and in excellent condition. Skate skiing is allowing in the campground and picnic area only. ~ Enjoy
I forgot to mention to previous skier who mentioned Cherokee was groomed for skate. Cherokee is actually classic only, not skate so it's a real bummer there were no tracks laid.
