MOUNT ASHWABAY (Bayfield, WI): Our first visit here in many years, Joanie and I circled the trail system on many of the single-track classic only trails, including Deer Path, Sugar Bush, and Oppendahl's Alley. The tracks appeared to have been groomed recently with some fresh powder on top, and pole plants were still solid. These …
Snowmaking trails groomed for classic and skating in the AM. Trails on the golf course are currently closed due to insufficient snow coverage in several areas.
Wondered who made the parallel tracks in the soccer area looking like an aerial view of an archeological site! Good skating there and OK elsewhere, although falls on hidden small obstacles can happen. I go slowly, but others look fast and good.
May agree about skating which cuts into base?But a flat ski classic is the best-great kick with 3” powder on top of snowy field-Skied 2hrs back/forth/around on lower soccer field. Covered most setting new tracks great training for Birkie—-East has open field with same great opportunities!!
Very sketchy out there. Really more like Fair to Poor. Rock & dirt skis for sure. A few stretches here & there you can get into a rhythm. Come on Heikki Lunta!
Enough snow yesterday to do woodland trail and the part that overlooks the highway.Some brances,grass, and rocks but skianke.Today would be last day.Definite scratches on my skisBut it is the rnd of the seadon.Old B dkis go for it but watch out for dome rocks and bare ground
MOUNT VALHALLA (Washburn, WI): Joanie and I returned to these trails for the second time this week. We strided the A and B loops on the Valkyrie classic-only system, but not the C loop, because it appeared a track was set on on the first steep hill after the B loop cutoff (it is difficult …
Solid deck. Mostly clean except for the usual north end of the upper field. Good news is that that area will be filled in later today by the volunteer crew (Team Medicare!!). So, after it sets up tonight, Yuriy and Chip will make it great corduroy tomorrow morning.
Lots of cars in the ski parking lot! Classic tracks were skiable in most parts but with bare spots. The big hill was covered in leaves and debris. A PSA and my cautionary tale: while trying to navigate the downhill by going side to side slowly, must have hit ice or debris and tried to …
Was there at 7 am. Still decent coverage. Several places where tracks are down to the ground and some where you need to DP through a narrow lane to get through.
