AFTER HOURS SKI TRAIL/BRULE RIVER STATE FOREST (Brule, WI): Trails were in the process of being groomed this morning as Joanie and I skied Sally's Classic trail and a variety of skate trails. The couple inches of fresh powder was welcome over the crusty base and the fresh groom made everything even better. Trails went …
Yahara Golf Course: Beautiful zippy skiing this morning. A nice surprise after the conditions at Odana the last 2 weeks. Lots of snow, even deep snow in areas due to most of the ridge facing north. Best for adventurous nature loving people who don't mind imperfect tracks. Park on the east side of the lot …
Groomed skating using the Gator.
The Mound rarely disappoints. Complete coverage on the wooded trails and campground area. Got a bit soft with the warm temps but it should be skiable through the weekend
Again soccer fields excellent cover with good glide in my circular and diagonal tracks. West woods sketchy but doable no wax & caution.
MOUNT ASHWABAY (Bayfield, WI): Our first visit here in many years, Joanie and I circled the trail system on many of the single-track classic only trails, including Deer Path, Sugar Bush, and Oppendahl's Alley. The tracks appeared to have been groomed recently with some fresh powder on top, and pole plants were still solid. These …
Snowmaking trails groomed for classic and skating in the AM. Trails on the golf course are currently closed due to insufficient snow coverage in several areas.
Wondered who made the parallel tracks in the soccer area looking like an aerial view of an archeological site! Good skating there and OK elsewhere, although falls on hidden small obstacles can happen. I go slowly, but others look fast and good.
May agree about skating which cuts into base?But a flat ski classic is the best-great kick with 3” powder on top of snowy field-Skied 2hrs back/forth/around on lower soccer field. Covered most setting new tracks great training for Birkie—-East has open field with same great opportunities!!
Very sketchy out there. Really more like Fair to Poor. Rock & dirt skis for sure. A few stretches here & there you can get into a rhythm. Come on Heikki Lunta!
