We skied 7-9 PM. Rocket fast on the icy deck!

We groomed all trails this morning. The deck is holding up well and there's good coverage. Open 9-5pm today and tomorrow, and open 10am-4pm on Sunday.

Golf course trails have been groomed for skating, and the classic track is in good shape from yesterday’s grooming. The CXC trails have been groomed for both skating and classic. We expect to finish snowmaking today and will begin pushing snow on Monday. We anticipate having all trails open early next week. 

My perspective is similar to others. However, I will say there are too many leaves on the west side to use waxed skis. I tried today and my wax was pretty clogged with leaves after one loop.

Perfect conditions on the east trails. Deep tracks with great grip and glide. Similar for the ball field loop. West side lit trails were also pretty good, but there are still quite a few leaves in the tracks that can slow you down a bit.

Tracks holding up well. The hikers are taking a toll on the skate deck. Luckily the tracks have been spared. Looks like a lost snowmobiler went right down the middle of the skate deck on the trail behind the campground. The tracks were spared once again.

Ice Age Trail – Table Bluff Segment: Rugged but beautiful! Rock skis only.

The best I've seen classic tracks at Odana! Lovely. (FYI, the shortest loops aren't groomed for classic, only the longer ones.)

Trails were freshly groomed this morning and in overall good condition with solid, deep tracks. Joanie and I strided all 4 of the numbered loops (and some more than once). There are some places in the tracks where vegetation or ground is showing, but these were easy to work around. Thanks to the county groomers!

Pretty much perfect conditions. Tracks were wonderful. Very little leaf litter but I did not go up into the western hills. Went everywhere else though and it was dreamy. When left around noon they were grooming the skate deck too.
