We scratched up the skating lane and cleared trails of downfalls from yesterday's strong winds. We were not able to set classic track. The icy conditions just wouldn't let us get deep enough. Long Lake, Thunders, East, Rajala and Sunset look to be fair skate conditions. Be careful on the downhills, it's going to be wicked fast until it gets above freezing again. We are definitely in spring conditions so future grooming plans will depend on getting new snow to work with.

Skied the Long Lake Loop, Snag Loop, and Roller Coaster a couple of times. Trails started out nice and fast but as the temperature climbed into the upper 30s, the tracks started to get soggy and very slow. Grooming and coverage were excellent throughout.

I packed the skate lane on all trails. Set new classic track on Rajala, Sunset and Snag. Conditions look really good. Grooming plans: I'm planning on setting classic track tomorrow mid day on the trails I didn't set it on today.
