I arrived around noon…the skate deck was a bit hard packed for me the first stretch… but then I saw it… corduroy! What a difference! I skied the east side, west side and parts in between and it just got better! Thank you so much to the groomers!
Can confirm that it is as good as it gets. Classic tracks looked really great too. Get it before it rains!
As good as it gets. Groomed classic and skate just before I skied at 2:30
I spent most of my time on Pleasant View, trails are in excellent condition and although there are blown over areas skiing was still very good. I skied the entire golf course and there are long stretches of very good track. The loop along Blackhawk had a fair amount of drifting but still very skiable. …
Plenty of snow, recently groomed. Mostly very good, but showing wear in some areas mid-afternoon. Trail pass required.
Groomed today. Classic tracks no longer wind blown, but shallow in many places and/or driven over by the groomer in a few places. Skate lane looked flat, but narrow throughout the loop. Connector to the park is too narrow for 2-way traffic and lots of debris less than an hour after it was groomed. 11F …
Conditions were excellent to good in many spots. Hill 6 is nicely groomed and level. Creekside was poorly groomed and didnt appear to have been groomed recently. Erdman connnector in very poor shape for skate, classic tracks looked better. Would choose b skis for connector and climb up to pleasant view, lots of debris. Some …
Conditions were variable some excelllent and fast for how cold the snow is other sections poor to fair with very uneven grooming or lack of grooming in a day or two. Unpredictable deep poling in spots. Could be worse but considering the time since the last snowffall expected a much more consistent skate deck and …
This is for both CXC and Pleasant View. The rating would be excellent except that about 40% of the tracks are spin drift blown over on PV. CXC is better. But even it suffers Spin drift in some places. Once the snow consolidates and is regroomed and tracked, all will be dandy. Cold out there. …
All the trails have been re-groomed this A.M. All the classic tracks and deep and freshly groomed, no trails blown in today. The skate lane is wide and firm, the snowshoe trails have been freshened up. https://www.danecountyparks.com/documents/PDFs/Maps/McCarthy-Ski-2021.pdf
