Last weekend?

I groomed both the road and the lake through Pilot Knob State Park tonight for skate skiing. The pack was too hard to set new classic tracks.  Skating should be good through Saturday morning and then we have a long warm spell in the forecast.

Irv Warren Golf Course - Waterloo

Skied Irv Warren this morning.   Both the skating lane and classical tracks were regroomed yesterday (Friday).   Conditions are good for both.   There has been some drifting that has filled in the classic tracks in places but skiers have formed a track through those places.

Pilot Knob State Park

Just outstanding conditions today. Jeff does as good as anybody when it comes to grooming a trail. I can't explain on good the conditions were today and suspect tomorrow morning will still be good until in warms.

For those that have never skied at Pilot Knob State Park, it is as fine a trail has we have in Iowa, in my opinion; rolling, hills, and some flat areas. Also, if  you enjoy wildlife, today I ran across at least a dozen deer, several turkeys, and even spotted a grey colored Owl in the trees. What a great day skiing. Thanks Jeff!

Brynes Park

Was out for a short ski today, For the weather we have had last night and today, the base is holding up. A little firmer today and very slow.

Irv Warren Golf Course Waterloo

Skied Irv Warren this afternoon.   The skate deck was groomed last Friday and with approximately 1 inch of new on top from this weekend it was in excellent condition.   Unfortunately for classic skiers the classic track was mostly non-existent.   There were a few places where the track looked okay.
