Door Creek Park

Lots of new trails this year, good work by parks. Classic tracks are bare in spots, did most skiing on the deck. Some great spots in the open, lots of bare spots in the woods and spotty grass poking through elsewhere. Any other year this would be a bad day, but was able to get …

Lodi Golf Course

Thanks Dale! The skiing was fabulous. Very much appreciate the excellent grooming. Both cvlassic and skate.

McCarthy Park

Ok, I’m sure “excellent” caught your attention! Thank you McCarthy Grooming Team (Paul especially). There was plenty of excellent skiing because of stellar grooming. Some pieces of dirt, grass, a rock or two, but it’s all still avoidable. There were no sledders and skiing up the sledding hill had great coverage. Get it while it …

Odana Golf Course

I went about 8:30 this morning. Someone recently groomed about half of Odana. The recently groomed sections were excellent, but the sections which had not been groomed were only ok. Some dirt, but easily avoided.

Mirror Lake SP – Baraboo

Skating lane ranged from fair to very good. A few bare spots, mainly on the hills. I believe some of the trails had been regroomed on Thursday. All in all, a pleasant ski!

Elver Park

While there are some grassy spots in the tracks, there will still be skiing on Saturday. The East/South trail has some stretches that have excellent, like-new track, sharp and firm. Just use caution on that south sloping downhill chute out of the pines/hemlock. Also the Upper Loop of the West/lighted trail is very good, except …

CXC Outdoor Rec Center

It should be fair to good. I mostly groomed for skating but while not paying attention, I accidentally put classic tracks on my last loop of the golf course. I was running out of gas and didn't go around again, but I think it should be fine for the skaters. Depending on the weather today, …

Blue Mound SP

The big ice patch @ the bottom of the Minix Trail is likely the result of the creek/drainage backing up. Definitely a hazard that needs to be treated carefully. The other 99% of the trail is fine, though the tracks are worn & need regrooming.

University Ridge Golf Course

We groomed before the sun went down Friday night. Bucky's Pass has been re-tracked but skate skiing on Bucky's is not advisable. The deck is firm but thin on all skate trails. Skate skiers should access the Zimmer Loops by taking Arthur's Alley (#10). Open 9-5pm tomorrow. We will try to groom trails again on …

Blue Mound SP

Only skied in trax which were fine. In regards to the previous report: The ice is at the bottom of the Yellow trail. Since then they have put up warning cones and a Stop sign, which is suggested to obey. There is a smaller ice patch, a bit further up though not as serious, but …
