The west trail is nicely groomed, but the east trail is slow and sticky and has not been groomed since last snowfall. Would be great to get a little more skiing in while there's still good snow!

There's enough snow for classic sking, but soft and some sticky as warm temps and sun affect snow. Not much tracking since machine broke but most trails groomed. Signage is a problem, definitely not user-friendly.

Conditions Good with 10" base due to heavy snow we could not groom Lake Loop and 9 mile. It was a long day trying to work the heavy 5" snow new snow but it turned out pretty good. Should make for a good weekend of skiing and will work on this trail next week.

Excellent conditions with 8" base all groomed and tracked will touch up military trail tomorrow after grooming Nicolet North. Getting a lot of users on military trail from parking lot in later afternoon. Turned out with great deep tracks today, enjoy!

There was about two inches of new snow with an ice crust on top on all the trails. I was the first skater on the trails and there were only one or two classic skiers before me. Therefore, conditions were fair. I skied the lake loop twice. That's always fun!

Anvil trail especially military trail to and from the parking lot on military road have been very well groomed. Not only today, but all season. I know that when I go to Anvil I will have a great skiing experience. Thanks for all the hard work USFS!

Great conditions at Anvil today with recent grooming, and mostly good tracks throughout. The base appears deep with some tree debris on the surface. A few of the longer uphills had no tracks which made climbing a bit more challenging. Downhills are very fast today. Looking forward to more snow to slow things down a bit. A lot of people were out enjoying the mild temps. It's so great to see this trail and Nicolet North being groomed more frequently. Thank you groomers!

Excellent. Trails groomed recently. Had the privilege of meeting groomers today as they were out again this morning grooming. Found the nine mile trail and the lake loop trail segments a bit to narrow to avoid interfering with the classic skiers and when the classic tracks are set finding it unavoidable skiing over the set tracks. First time skiing this jewel in our national forest system and very happy to report that the grooming operation is top shelf! Thank you for making my vacation day adventure worth the travel to the northwoods.

Good condition with 6" base all is groomed and tracked, watch for changes in direction on one way signs on east and west trails. We have some debris from the recent wind storms, trail should set well overnight with colder temps.
