University Ridge Golf Course

Grooming the skate trails again today. The drifting has made grooming very challenging. Soft in some areas that have a lot of snow. We'll continue to make laps and pack in the snow. Open 9-5pm today. Please check in with the golf shop. Thanks.

Nordic Trails – LaGrange

There is a fair track on all loops south of the parking area. Numerous down limbs & trees has evidently delayed grooming while clean-up progresses. It didn't appear that the blue loop north from the parking area was groomed for either skate or classic. Hopefully it improves for the weekend.

Indian Lake

I skied the entire trail system. As far as I could tell, I was one of the first skiers to ski the trails since the county groomed yesterday. The tracks, where they existed, were deep, firm and fast. Kick on my skin skis was ok. Pole plants were generally on the soft side, but that …

Elver Park

I arrived around noon…the skate deck was a bit hard packed for me the first stretch… but then I saw it… corduroy! What a difference! I skied the east side, west side and parts in between and it just got better! Thank you so much to the groomers!

McCarthy Park

Can confirm that it is as good as it gets. Classic tracks looked really great too. Get it before it rains!

Door Creek Park

As good as it gets. Groomed classic and skate just before I skied at 2:30

CXC Outdoor Rec Center

I spent most of my time on Pleasant View, trails are in excellent condition and although there are blown over areas skiing was still very good. I skied the entire golf course and there are long stretches of very good track. The loop along Blackhawk had a fair amount of drifting but still very skiable. …

Elver Park

Plenty of snow, recently groomed. Mostly very good, but showing wear in some areas mid-afternoon. Trail pass required.

Odana Golf Course

Groomed today. Classic tracks no longer wind blown, but shallow in many places and/or driven over by the groomer in a few places. Skate lane looked flat, but narrow throughout the loop. Connector to the park is too narrow for 2-way traffic and lots of debris less than an hour after it was groomed. 11F …

BlackHawk Ski Area

Conditions were excellent to good in many spots. Hill 6 is nicely groomed and level. Creekside was poorly groomed and didnt appear to have been groomed recently. Erdman connnector in very poor shape for skate, classic tracks looked better. Would choose b skis for connector and climb up to pleasant view, lots of debris. Some …
