Trails at Greenbush continue to be very good for both classic and skate. Red and purple trails had tracks reset on Tuesday and are very good for classic. A few leaves are beginning to show up as of Wednesday. If we get the rain that is forecast for Thursday afternoon please stay off the trails while they are soft. With the cold weather forecast for next Sunday groomers will not be able to groom out any ruts you create.

Morning
Firsthand: Freestyle 
[ B skis ]
Conditions: Heavily skied trails have taken a toll on grooming. Trails were hard packed, beginning to crown, various huge divots as well as areas of footprints. Numerous downhills have uncontrollable berms.
It would appear that significant grooming was not done as of Wednesday, although numerous "touchups" have occurred over the past few days.

Conditions: Excellent conditions on all trails today.
Last week's storm dumped almost a foot of wet snow. The usual fantastic grooming has tracks everywhere and solid skate deck. Only one spot needs to be skied around: towards end of Green Trail there's grunge coming up from the ground where grooming machine broke down.

Classic skied the purple and green loops. Plenty of snow and very well groomed. No debris on the trails. Classic tracks deep and firm all around. Good kick and glide with Swix blue. Skating deck looks good too, perhaps just a little soft.

Firsthand: Classic 
[ Good skis ]
Conditions: Very good: both classic and skate.
The Northern Kettle Moraine-Greenbush trails are well covered and leveled out nicely with the recent snow storm. Skate deck was firm with nice amount of purchase. Classic track was full depth. The fresh snow reduced most of the organic matter that can clog up your kick zone. Well done groomers.

I skate skied the purple and brown loops today and it was excellent! Firm base and ice only in one low spot on the brown trail. The classic track also looked to be in excellent shape. There was almost no debris on the trails.

Afternoon
Firsthand: Classic 
[ B skis ]
Conditions: Very nice. In the morning, although all the trails had apparently been groomed for skating, only the Brown trail (7) had classic tracks, and they were good and firm. The corduroy for skating looked great.
The conditions were good, but the skiing was a little slow with the new snow.

Conditions: 11" of snow were rolled and packed on Tuesday and groomed and tracked this morning, which make for soft conditions.
Finally our snow dances found their groove. All trails have been rolled, groomed and tracked. As expected, conditions were soft, but it was pure Nordic Heaven with lots of smiles at Greenbush today. Things will only get better over the next few days as things firm up.

Skied Tuesday evening under the lights. Trail is extremely soft and needs more packing to firm it up. Good to finally be on snow again and feel that glide again.
