Hi friends,it's been great to see so many skiers at Irv Warren skating and classicking! Fun to get new skiers out there trying out the sport.
I skied at Cresco today, and it is definitely thin, but still very skate-able. No tracks though for classic. Only loop not open is the high prairie (knocks off just one kilometer). Some areas are well covered, but on the bike trail your poles will definitely hit pavement, and it was dicey with some loose gravel on the campground loop (use rock skis unless you don't care about a scratch or two!). I enjoyed it though. Best trails I've found in Iowa. Hopefully we'll get a little more snow.
