Did the Pioneer trail but it's completed ungroomed and untracked. A bit difficult to deal with because of the thick snow. There are (now) home made tracks on Pioneer. From what I saw Fern Dell Trail is packed and in good condition. Note, historically Turterville Trail was a nice and scenic add-on to Fern Dell…but …
We still need some time this morning as we had a couple issues getting things rolled yesterday. We hope to have trails open at noon but we will post later this morning with more details. Thanks for your patience.

Maple Bluff Country Club Narrow skate lane was there at 1:30. Groomer was hard at work on classic tracks, partially ready at 2:30. Some leaf litter, but it is November! Some walkers and dogs on tracks. Beautiful weather! Easy parking! Free!

11:30 Westside was groomed & tracked (except for the 2 bigger hills). A little soft, but mostly good coverage. Only noticed one small bare spot, but a few spots where you could see some color through the thin snowpack. Overall very nice for November on "B" skis (I used A-/B+ skis)!
All the trails have been rolled & groomed for both classic and skate. The sledding hill has been groomed and the snowshoe trails have been packed. Overall conditions look good, expect some drifting, shoe looks to be firming up nicely.
The CXC trails were groomed with the snowcat for skating only. Excellent conditions, very firm, fun to ski, and have no drifting. The golf course trails were groomed with pull-behind equipment for both skating and classic. The deck is softer, with some drifting in the open areas. We decided not to take the risk of …
