Comments: The whole system has been snowmobile packed for skating and about 10% of the system has been groomed with tracks using the Pisten Bully. It is a hard packed base with 1/4" new snow on top. There is a little bit of stubble on some of the trails, especially those in the BWCA, but considering the low snow, trails are not too bad. The temperature this morning was 2 above. Daytime temps have been above normal but with the sun low in the sky, we have been holding in the low to mid twenties. The lakes have minimal snow but no slush
