Skied classic today. Traveled from Madison looking for variety (I have done Madison parks so much this year) and thinking the last snowfall was supposed to have been heavier in the southeast area of the state. It was skiable and many people were out having a ball, so that was nice. Classic conditions were below …
It’s a March Miracle! Both CXC and Pleasant View are nicely groomed for skating. No tracks on Pleasant View for striders. Some thin spots easily avoided. Caution on the thin spots that cross the paved golf cart path. A bit soft in places. But the snow is fast. Thanks Yuriy! This is a real gift …
I had a great time at Indian Lake yesterday, though it hadn't been groomed. I skied from 10 AM to 12 noon (classic). There appeared to be about 5 " of wet snow. It was like the old days in the 1980s when there was little grooming anywhere and you just went out and broke …
No grooming. Soft, but good snow coverage (see Skinnyski pics). Skier tracked to the campground, and now, single-tracked the rest of the outer loop! Hikers had tarnished, but not ruined, Pleasure Valley. Beautiful day with few skiers. Wider skis recommended.
Pretty nice spring classic skiing at Elver today (2pm) on the west trails. Only a few peek throughs on the tracks but nothing to complain about. Typical wet and soft for a new spring snow. Not much quick gliding but good grip going uphill. Thank you groomers for the quick work in making it a …
I rolled, groomed, and tracked a limited selection of trails this morning. West side trails plus to and from the shelter. It is soft and getting softer, but should buff out nicely after a refreeze. Coverage is very good on the skate deck with some pavement to avoid around the ball fields.
11AM. Aprox 6-8" new snow, the whole system has been lightly rolled. VERY soft, sticky and slow (as in needing to double pole down hills). If it gets cold enough for them to re-groom tonight it could be wonderful tomorrow. For now its a workout!
Sorry, we will not be grooming the recent snow.
I interviewed a club celebrity groomer Thursday as we were helping set up the Canoecopia extravaganza for this weekend (presentations starting at 3:30 today). He said he was likely to be involved with the paddlesport show all weekend and would not be available to groom trails. That would be a City Parks decision, and he …
Rolled most of the trails around 4am. Snow is too wet to pack it with the groomer. We will groom later this evening or tomorrow morning when temperatures drop below freezing. Trial should be in a fair conditions for skating today. No classic tracks. XC Ski Equipment sale open today from 10 am to 6pm. …
