Fantastic skiing. All the trails are rolled. Classic skied about half the trails and didn't find one rock. I used my race skis with a bit of purple. Occasional bits of hard/ice at the low spots. Even the access road to the shelter had good, skiable snow cover. People have been skate skiing too. Beautiful Brule River. Lots of grouse and for hunters, the deer are in the oaks.

Grooming 
[ Trails Open: All, Rock skis ]
Trails are rolled and in fair to good condition with a 1.5" Base. There is a good amount of stubble and grass poking through in spots. Not enough snow to set track, but there's about 7" on the ground. Warning: There are deer hunters near and on the trail - wear orange!

Wisconsin firearms deer hunting season started on Saturday. Do not ski during hunting season. The Wisconsin DNR will not groom till after hunting season. Two years ago I made the mistake of skiing After Hours during hunting season. The area is hunted heavily and I saw lots of hunters. Even with the new snow they received overnight and this morning, it would be a bad decision to ski After Hours.
