Correction: lots of bare spots and tracks with lots of foot traffic

Several bare spots, lots of traffic on tracks

Deck is in very good shape. Just some dirty spots that are easy to see and avoid. Tracks look good except for the north end of Upper Field. Was softening up and getting a bit sugary in spots as I was finishing at about noon. Early- to mid-morning ski sessions are the word for the …

The trails on the north and east side of the mound are thinning, but are still holding snow well. Other trails are getting very sketchy. There is a growing area of ice and slush on John Minix at the bottom of the hill after the sharp left, so take care. Technically not groomed since Jan. …

Flew up to WINTER PARK Minocqua Arrived early to perfectly groomed trails all the way to lake Marie. Plenty of snow-solid base. there are a few spots with some debris but no biggie. Tracks looked perfect. Skied Lake Marie via tornado survivor Yukon C &D express returned via island Hop and Nepco cruise-all were perfect! …

Great coverage, not icy, and on-going grooming into the afternoon. I'm so glad I made the drive up from Madison! Looking at the forecast does not inspire great hope, but you can roundtrip this in a day and get a little more excellent skiing in!
