poor by cxc standards -ungroomed boiler plate -golf course very thin, uneven and ungroomed. man-made loop needs some serious tilling
Elver Park
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 …
University Ridge Golf Course
Attempted to groom yesterday, but too many bare spots. Closed until we get more snow.
Blue Mound SP
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 …
Odana Golf Course
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!

Nice to get out for a ski. I used my “A” skis with no damage to report. Several areas were thin but was able to pick my way through or double pole to avoid any damage to my bases. With that said B ski would have been a better choice.
Lapham Peak – Delafield
Arrived early to find perfectly groomed man made loop. did not go on the natural snow loops Was Plus 4F when I started-only a couple other souls out. With light winds skiing was not bad and surprisingly not too slow given the temps. tracks looked really good as well.

Used Piston Bully today and groomed skating and new classic on the man-made snow loops.
Elver Park
Very thin, lots of dirt; conditions seemed significantly worse than when I was last there Thursday night. Recommend rock skis if you have them. The best coverage sections were on the east side (the far east trail right after the downhill out of the woods was beautiful) but there's no way to get there without …
