Not well groomed but skiable. Would like tracks set wider on uphill skate sections. Some slightly grassy areas but no rocks.

Very enjoyable ski. No tracks but fairly uniform, well packed base. A few patches of grass/dirt showing but mostly very well covered. Nice to see this great trail system getting some professional, early season grooming.

I'd estimate 10" to a foot of snow in the trail surrounding Chequamegon National Forest woods. When I arrived at 10 a.m., the trails had been rolled but not otherwise groomed. About 2 inches of fresh snow overlay the rolled surface. There was skier set classic trail on all trail segments. As I skied, the groomer arrived and went to work. By the time I left the entire system was a freshly flattened, rilled skate deck like surface. Skiing on the skier set track and even the flat groomed surface was quite good. The grooming is scraping down to grass/dirt in places and there is small twig and branch blown down debris in the track. It's a beautiful trail.

2-3" base, all groomed in fair to poor condition, not enough snow to track, some debris in hemlock areas.
