First mile was a slog in ivy, leaf filled tracks, then a unicorn and rainbow swooped by (tho they smelled like snowmobiles) and it all turned awesome!! Except for the campground which will remain thin and icy until more snow falls.

Trails were being groomed while I was there mid morning-the non groomed trail was good but hard packed. Groomed portion was excellent- hats off to the grooming team. Now if we could only figure out a way to get rid of all the oak leaves on the northwest trail section in the woods.

Snow is good. Grooming is good. But Mother Nature messed with all that by often filling the tracks alternately with leaf debris or spindrift. The SE portion of Round-a-Lot was is the best shape for nice kick and glide. Other spots were a lot of work for the reasons just stated. The skate deck looks …

Brrr, the wind was vicious this morning! Good to excellent. Some blown in areas, but overall the tracks are in great shape. No grass sticking through. Skate deck was in excellent condition.

We groomed all skate trails this morning and reset track on the Zimmer Loops. Lot's of debris but trails are holding and coverage is still good. Open 9-5pm today and tomorrow. Stay tuned about Wednesday and Thursday.

Groomed everything for skating and put some new classic tracks around the golf course.

Groomed all the skate lanes late in the evening, should set up good and be ready for the warm up. Most of the classic tracks are in good condition, maybe one or two spots drifted in.

Trails were rock hard. Did the best I could with the Gator grooming the skating.

Did blue loop on this cold day. Good base, leaf litter in spots. Could probably skate the whole trail As well.
