MadNorSki - Madison Nordic Ski Club Home

Madison Parks opened after 2 today. I gave all the trails a pass with the MadNorSki equipment and they should keep getting better as temps drop.

Kudos to Paul and the grooming team for making this place so good. Skate deck has only improved over the past few days. Classic tracks looked really solid too.

Wasn't groomed as of 1230pm. No tracks prior to our visit. Looks like it could be good if it was groomed, there's at least 6" base. 2" thick day-old cake frosting conditions over 2 classic ski tracks in most places. Campground now has <1" packed snow on the pavement, but not enough to skate on …

All trails groomed today at noon, it would be excellent but the wind is blowing some tracks in.

Fischer no wax X. 1 1/2 hrs of fun–really NOT icey –some fresh snow on top & in tracks made climb from Blackhawk trails "easy"

Fischer no wax. 1 1/2 hrs of fun. & hill UP from Blackhawk trails ==easy with some new stuff on top–would NOT call conditions "icey"

All City of Madison trails closed today to maximize longevity of the snow. Check out Parks website: https://www.cityofmadison.com/parks/find-a-park/facilities/skiTrail.cfm?id=2

Did just a little bit of grooming. Pretty soft and I was worried about doing more damage than good.

Terrific for early December. Very little leaf litter, even in the tracks. Wear and tear is minimal. HIghly recommend. Thanks Dick & grooming team!

The tracks on all three loops were not groomed after the snowstorm on Monday night into Tuesday morning. I was able to ski through the existing remnants from the previous groom. It was still great, lots of moisture in the snow. I would do it again in a heartbeat.
