Skied 2 laps of Pleasant View and CXC on perfectly groomed trials with sunny skies and calm winds. Was 4F at 8am when I started but didn't feel cold at all. Surprised how few folks were out.

I arrived around noon…the skate deck was a bit hard packed for me the first stretch… but then I saw it… corduroy! What a difference! I skied the east side, west side and parts in between and it just got better! Thank you so much to the groomers!
Can confirm that it is as good as it gets. Classic tracks looked really great too. Get it before it rains!
As good as it gets. Groomed classic and skate just before I skied at 2:30
I spent most of my time on Pleasant View, trails are in excellent condition and although there are blown over areas skiing was still very good. I skied the entire golf course and there are long stretches of very good track. The loop along Blackhawk had a fair amount of drifting but still very skiable. …
