A very nice winter day on the trails. Light snow falling most of the day accumulating to about an inch. Temps in the lower teens and a light wind from the northwest.  The large group of Canadians at Maplelag this week organized their traditional “ski games” in one of the soccer fields and the Eden Prairie ski team had a time trial on Twin Lakes with a handful of Detroit Lakes skiers. Other skiers enjoying the very good to excellent conditions on the classic trails. A few rough spots on the lake crossings from top water issues otherwise the trails are in great shape and skiing is about as good as it gets. We are planning on re-setting some of the tracks tomorrow morning and will put a track on the side of North Loup in addition to grooming the skate lane on North Loup and the Skaters trails.
