Great spring skiing. All classic tracks in and firm from yesterday's setting. Skate trails touched up early this morning. Fern expert trail reopened for last two days! If you live in La Crosse get out there!

Volunteer groomers doing great job with heavy wet snow. Crummy out on GC, and better up in the Coulee. Get it, before it is gone!

All trails were groomed this morning except fern and gas line. Did not reset much classic track. Most of it looked good and don't think we would have improved it. Skate conditions should be very good, classic good..

All trails groomed except gas line and fern. At least two passes on all other trail segments – skate conditions very good. Did not reset much classic tracks – not a lot of snow in spots. Some excellent trails are drifted in, we just need skiers. Classic conditions good.

Again, our volunteer groomers are amazing. Really good skiing tonight. Some wind blown and thin tracks out on the golf course, but still pretty good. Just head up into the Coulee where all of those trails are in great condition for classic and skate skiing. 11F felt amazingly warm, too.

Trails in the woods are in excellent shape . The skating and classic trails were groomed early this morning. The trails on the main golf course are being wind blown so tracks were not set, but it was groomed for skating. Trail from parking lot was drifted but it's been shoveled groomed and tracked. Have fun!

Good skiing in La Crosse. Tracks in woods sections new and fast. Fresh cord everywhere. Snow is fast today considering the 1-2 inches of fresh snow.
