Excellent on man-made loop-ventured out on golf course-the 1/2" of new snow helped make the trail good with a thin base but enough cover- the south flat portion was excellent. However, the east end by the pines -is a long stretch of bare ground
Another fine day on the magic carpet. Deck and tracks in great shape on the entire manmade loop. Groomers filled in a lot of the exposed section on the north end of the upper field. Skiing should be great all week. But it will get softer as we progress. Enjoy!
Swix45 good on hills. fresh snow adequate –no break thru. did all east side hills downward without problem- 1hr 20 FUN
Trails were fair to good considering such little snow. A couple of the hills had lots of grass/twigs showing but still manageable with B skis and quite enjoyable!
I classic skied yesterday and today. Andrea skate skied today. Very happy with the snow conditions, they’ve done a great job with the snow they have. A fun place to ski.
WinMan Trails-Winchester/Manitowish Waters: Phenomenal skating conditions this morning on perfectly groomed trails-thank you groomer(s)! Joanie and I skated all the dog-free trails (and some more than once). The trails were very level and firm, with some nicely groomed soft snow on top. The tracks were not newly set, but still looked very good as well.
Skied Sunday afternoon. What snow exists is in great condition. Fast, not too hard, not yet transformed. However, we need more of it. The thin spot on north end of the field (furthest from the snow guns) is borderline unskiable with the gravel speed bumps poking through. If it were just this area, I’d say …
One persons fair is another’s good and another’s poor. If you’re not too much of a snob and don’t need tracks there are lines to ski the whole place. Bring B or Rock ski’s and a good attitude and the world is your oyster 🙂
We only skied the flats – starting at the far parking lot & looping back to the Morningside Trail. About 2-3 inch packed base on the trails with skier made tracks. Some easily avoidable small holes where hikers footprints left divits but entirely skiable and a pleasure to be out. Skied back along the shore …
Owen Conservation park. A hidden gem where I saw a flock of turkeys and a huge deer. I skied the main sections and a small trail in the woods. Tehre was good snow coverage but icy. The downhills are very fast BUT the logs they have horizontal to the trail to stop runoff were barely …
