Trails were groomed Thursday. We enjoyed a beautiful snow covered trail. Minimal ice, one bare spot but overall excellent. Didn't expect to ski again after the Birki and once again this little snow jewel surprised us. Firm and fast down the middle. I would try to ski This morning and still use good skis. Charlie, Dianne, Gary and I thank the local club for working so hard to give us a big smile on our face on our last day.

Skated greenbush today around noon. Good snow coverage for the most part. It hadn't been groomed since yesterday. It was hard packed in the middle due to alot of traffic and soft on the sides with lots of ruts many of which were deep. It appeared as though there was alot of skiing on it yesterday before it had a chance to firm up. It could have been pretty good today had they groomed again. I would rate conditions for skating today as fair.

Very nice late season skiing. The skate deck on the purple trail is solid. The deck on the green and red trails are soft on the right hand side. There are areas of ice but I was able to ski over or around them. Some bare spots showing but not a lot. The classic track looked good with some burned through areas. The sandhill cranes have returned to the marsh, another sign the season is almost over. Get out and enjoy!

Phenomenal, Lovely. Trails are in good shape except on 15 foot section of green by the lower powerline. A bit of icy snow in first pines. Otherwise incredible.

The groomer did a fantastic job in preparing both the skate and classic lanes, Thank You! My compliments and thanks to the Northern Kettle Moraine Nordic Club for all of your work and care given to the Greenbush System. Even though the lanes were a bit soft in spots all of the trails I was on today were in wonderful condition and skiing through the snow covered forest was terrific. Get out to Greenbush and have a great time.

9" of new snow that was groomed this morning was expectedly soft and slow but enjoyable. Did brown and purple trails and on the second time the skating trail was faster. Tomorrow it should be fantastic. It was a very scenic experience with the sun glistening through the snow laden branches of the forest as you can see from photo.

Some but not all trails were groomed today. Very nice conditions but some deterioration showing. The downhill on the purple trail by Bear Lake heading to the marsh has bare spots. I don't advise using purple in this section.

I skate skied purple, green, and red this morning and conditions were great. The groomer was out this morning touching up the skate deck. The classic track looked good. By late morning the sun exposed sections of the trails were getting softer. Enjoy!
