MNRA (MacBride) - Iowa City; temp 15, wind SW 20-25mph.
MNRA's skate lanes firmed up way faster than Ashton has, not sure why perhaps due to more drifting at Ashton. Anyway the skate lanes were skiing pretty fast and holding up well. After the next grooming session MNRA could be on the verge of rocket snow.
The classic lane was getting heavy use and holding up very well. LOTS OF SKIERS AT MNRA, wow! It's great to see large crowds getting out and skiing together in groups and having a good time. Oh I was told the classic track was gliding and gripping well - Brett
