Conditions: Excellent classic and skate on all trails!
After 2-3 wet inches of snow and warm temps on Tuesday and Wednesday, a freeze on Wednesday night allowed grooming on Thursday morning.

The trails were freshly groomed and re-tracked this morning. The groomer Jeff Welsch reports good, fast conditions.

Freshly groomed trails and bright sun shine made for a winter wonderland of skiing! Thanks, groomers!

Conditions: Good with fresh but sticky snow.
Skied classic purple loop with beautiful layer of fresh snow at 2pm and 31 degrees. Trail was not groomed yet so it was a slow sticky ski. Once groomed, the conditions should be great as there's plenty of snow to work with.

I skated purple and green trails about 10 AM (17 degrees using violet wax), and "icy" isn't quite the right word for the skate deck. It could probably be better described as a little hard and slippery. There was no obvious ice on the downhills, but I found it hard to get an edge even on the flats when I pushed off skating. I didn't see much debris in the pines, and you could easily ski over what was there without catching a ski. The classic track looked decent but also a bit worn and hard. My guess would be there has been no grooming since Wednesday.

Conditions: Classic trail very good. Downhill a little icy and hard to maneuver.
Went classic skiing Thursday about 2 PM. Classic trail was in very good condition. Downhill was a little harder to control because the skating area was hard packed and hard to control skis on downhill. Would love it if it was groomed.

Conditions: Good conditions but classic trails are a bit worn.
Perfect conditions at 2pm Thursday - 32 degrees and sunny. Skied just one purple loop. Lots of debris, leaves, and twigs are showing up in the woods. The classic trail is getting worn out in a few spots - not sure grooming can help this. Skate trail looked great. Need snow!

Conditions: Very good for skating after new fallen snow was skied-in.
Skied Purples and Greens 9:30AM to 12:30PM Temp fell from 35 to 30F Freezing drizzle changed to snow at start. Hard for striders to hit wax. Skating was OK slow on "packy" snow to begin but over time became great as trails were skied in and temp dropped. Greenbush has best snow pack in SE WI. = Skated on race skis. Not so many skiers on Green so it never got skied in.

Conditions: I skated Purple to Green to Purple, and the trails had obviously been groomed earlier in the day after last night's light snow. The new snow did made the skate track just a bit soft and slow. The classic tracks looked good.
It was a very nice day to ski and lovely in the Greenbush woods with all the new snow.

Conditions: Very good with fresh but sticky snow.
Fresh snow made for a beautiful ski this morning. Trees were frosted with snow. Trails were groomed perfectly as usual. Only negative was the snow was sticky at 33 degrees.
