Rating good because of the great coverage. Skied the entire classic trail system, save for the steep uphill on the yellow loop. I used my slightly-wide metal-edged touring skis, which I think was a necessity. Temperature was about 40F when I arrived around 2 pm. Coverage was good throughout the trail system, with only a …
Well, not as good as yesterday. The classic tracks have either been taken over by the skating lanes or are in poor shape. The one place that a firm track remain is parallel to the far soccer field. I thought the skating track was better than reported earlier. The climb up from the soccer field …
City and MadNorSki tag teamed the skate deck on west trails and finished at 11a. The parking lot looks grim but coverage is much better in the woods. Snow is wet and dirty in spots as you’d expect with these temps.
I skied on the west side yesterday morning and today, quite early. I thought it was wonderful skiing! It almost qualifies for an excellent score. Kudos to Dick Steinle and his crew for their hard work and excellent grooming in low snow conditions. I recommend skiing early if you go tomorrow as it's softening and …
Conditions are not quite as good as yesterday, but still real good Spring skate skiing. Getting very soft in sun-exposed sections, particularly south-facing uphills. Much better in the shaded areas, which are not icy and are offering good edging still. Just like yesterday, classic not recommended. It still could be good out here for a …
Conditions are good/fair at Blackhawk, PV and cxc. Everything is groomed as of 8am. Rock/B skis in case, but coverage is decent and bare spots visible. Not too icy. Will get soft in a few hours
Arrived at about 5pm, and my first observation was that I didn't notice any melting. I think temps barely breached freezing today at BMSP. First I tried the trailhead. That was extremely firm and crusty, so I didn't even bother after a minute or two of double poling. Then I tried the campground. I was …
Skied cxc and outer golf course loop. Yuriy and crew working miracles out there! Solid thin deck with freshly groomed thin top. lots of thin spots and a few bare stretches. Groomers even got creative in spots where trail was thin-where they groomed/widened the trail. but good overall considering the remaining snow.
VERY pleasantly greeted by real nice conditions today. Yuriy did a nice job of grooming for skating. Classic tracks mostly gone or icy. Don’t advise going there. But skating was a total joy today. Got softer as the morning progressed. But not bad. A few dirty spots. Mostly clean snow throughout CXC and PV. A …
Fun and fast but not groomed as of 7pm Thursday evening. Calling conditions "good" since the mound still has snow. 2-6" base throughout, except for a few thin patches below the conifers in the pleasure valley loop, and in upper walnut prairie. Still lots of hiker tracks, which fade away the further you get from …
