Thanks to Josh Nemec's report on SkinnySki that the trails were groomed early this morning, Joanie and I made a spur-of-the-moment decision to make the 1 hour and 45 minute drive here from Ftichburg. The trails had just enough snow to be in very good condition overall, with solid skate decks and tracks. We strided …
Deck is holding up well. Tracks also look stable but a bit dirty in places. The trail will take a hit this week. But if it doesn’t rain, it should survive. Break out your best snow dance moves folks.
I skied this morning. The snow cover is decent and trails are fast. The trails have not been groomed recently. It was worth going out.
1" of fresh snow fell Saturday morning, Jan 3, on top of set tracks, and a good skate deck base of corduroy. Overall terrific skiing conditions for both skate and classic. Fresh snow did not slow things enough to diminish the experience as cold temps kept things fast. Fat biking looked great, too.
Groomed skating and some classic.
Some good areas but a lot of rough patches
Skated a few laps this evening. About half the system has fair coverage, and the rest ranges from OK to extremely thin. Grass stubble showing through in many places. Still worth getting out but don't use your best skis.
Tower Ridge Eau Claire Skate skied early morning 10 km loops on recently groomed trails- solid base with enough fresh snow for good edging. 10f calm winds Took granddaughter out at noon to do some classic skiing- tracks were in very good shape with no icing-granddaughter- only her second time out kept repeating. this is …
Man-made snow loop is now totally complete and was freshly groomed and tracked upon arrival early this morning. Joanie and I skated and strided the trails for a couple of hours. Very good conditions overall. Thanks to the snowmaking and grooming teams for making this happen. New shelter is a very nice addition to the …
Regroomed this morning.
