University Ridge Golf Course
We are out grooming this morning. Hoping to have all trails ready to go by noon. Not sure if we have enough to put tracks down. We'll report when we are finished.
McCarthy Park
Groomed the trails today, there are no classic tracks, too thin. Some nice spots to ski, some bad spots as well. You should be able to enjoy some skiing, bring your B or Rock ski's.

The trails firmed up quite nicely overnight, with some new snow covering up most of the thin spots I had noticed yesterday. The only truly sketchy areas are under the pines at Pleasure Valley, and that nasty area of brush right next to the trailhead. The campground is also felt a little thin relative to …

The snowmaking loop was groomed for skating, and the classic track was reset in areas where it had drifted over. We started pushing the snow that was made over the weekend, and will finish pushing by the end of tomorrow.
Odana Golf Course
Full coverage, but thin in spots with grass poking through. Couple more inches and we'll be much better off. It is groomed for skating, not for classic. But many classic skiers have set their own track. Very soft and slow snow today. Hard work.

We set corduroy for the entire trail system, save for a few cutoffs and the trail to/around the top of the mound (only rolled). The snow is extremely fluffy and compacted to only an inch or two. There are stretches that look great, but quite a few others where the groomer unfortunately brought up a …
Blue Mound SP
Had been lightly groomed (thanks!), but is fairly thin tread. 90+% covered, but plenty of thin, bare or churned spots. So, have to keep a keen eye for bare ground and occasional gravel pebbles. Still, quite a nice ski, best is below the campground and through the hills. Lightly groomed and rarely used made it …
McCarthy Park
Trails were rolled Sunday morning. Many areas had good coverage but in many other spots the snow was thin and grass and other vegetation was showing through. Because of this, we decided not to groom today. The trails are still probably skate-able with rock skis if you want to get out.
Elver Park
Groomed for skate only. Just enough snow for coverage but there is grass showing in open areas.
Blue Mound SP
A delightful wonderland for a waxable (blue/green) ski with nary a trace of my tracks. I was able to stay in grooves laid by groomer WVH who rolled beautiful wide lanes on all the trails — with a warning of possible gravel at the bottom of the hill in the campground stretch due to no …
