Hickory Hills: Perfect, near mid-winter conditions on the sprint course, low grade road and lighted loop this evening. Many thanks to city staff and/or volunteers for yesterday's and today's grooming. And after many skis earlier this winter with a headlamp, this evening's ski required sun glasses.
Thanks to the regular posters on this page. Your contributions are appreciated. Apologies for the multiple entries. Now I see how that happens despite my ability to navigate this page in the past.

Interlochen Golf Course: The Dreeszens & I switched trails today. They’re skiing in my tracks at Lost Lakes Pathway from yesterday & I skied in theirs at IGC, which were deep & fast. It’s convenient that that we live so close to these trails. The sun has come out full blast this afternoon so glad I got my ski in before lunchtime & the warmup. May be my last one, but if so, what an amazing winter it has been since it began snowing Thanksgiving evening, with travels to Silver Star/Sovereign Lakes/BC & Sun Valley, ID with North Stars Ski Touring Club of MSP, Stokely, and Masters World Cup in Klosters/Davos again with MI Cup race friends! Our new (10/23) Piston Bully 100 even got out on the Vasa trail in time for the race weekend, and groomers have finally been trained, so will be ready for the snow in 2026! Skiers really noticed & appreciated the difference the PB100 made to the trail conditions the last month of the season. I know I will be ready since it’s my favorite season of the year!
Hickory Hills: the man made loop at hickory is groomed and excellent
