Excellent skiing conditions. Compacted base 7-10″. 57 km tracked for classic only, 15km groomed for skating. All trails are groomed for classic.  Skaters Waltz/ extension Single and Double green, Suicide Hill and North Loup groomed for skating.  There is also a track set on North Loup for classic.  Today we set tracks on Bullhead and Island lake trails. This afternoon we groomed the course for the DL Invitational ski race tomorrow. The course groomed up very nice and looks awesome. Might be a bit soft on the pole plants for classic.
