CXC Outdoor Rec Center

Finished skiing at noon. It was surprisingly good! Of course, it was soft. However, my skin skis gave me all the grip I needed. There was less than 10 feet of bear ground in the tracks. It was tracked all the way around the golf course. Just beware of the deep pole plants. If you …

University Ridge Golf Course

Due to warm/wet weather conditions, the University Ridge trails will be closed until further notice.

Door Creek Park

Fun enough — squishy intact tracks with decent glide and adequate kick on the skins. Fishscales also would have worked. Skating looked pretty messy and one guy was leaving deep tracks out there. But plenty of snow left and it could be good if we eventually get an overnight freeze and city can groom out …

Elver Park

Good coverage (still 4in or more packed deck), bad pole plants, somehow even more tree debris? If you classic, you'll be happier on the skate deck. West side firmer than east side. Bring yer klister and expect your legs to do most of the propulsion.

Mirror Lake SP – Baraboo

Skied ferndell turtleville hastings pioneer hastings ishnala. Good coverage-recently groomed-lots of twiggs and leave debris on trails. Overall very skiable considering warm temps(35F) but really soft and slow. Every plant; skis and polos sink in a tad.

Odana Golf Course

Quite frankly, I would like to say that it is a No Go today. There is plenty of snow on both the deck and the tracks. However, both are extremely soft due to the thaw. I skied a couple hundred yards and turned around. Skiing on this kind of surface is 1) a lot of …

Door Creek Park

Very happy to find full snow coverage this afternoon. Looks like no grooming since Friday (when it was EXCELLENT). Saw two other striders and one skater. Tracks were fine but slow. Skate deck looked soft and slow. Might be better early tomorrow if we actually get down to 32F tonight.

Cherokee Marsh

Skier made tracks on soft, wet snow but the trails are beautiful, worth doing

McCarthy Park

Classic skiing was excellent- maybe not the fastest glide but great kick with skin skis and fun to ski in fresh snow and mild temps. Skated for bit before that but the snow was wet and slow.
