Classic skied the purple and green loops. Although the snow is not deep, the tracks are in good to great condition. Very enjoyable.

Late afternoon ski of the purple loop, classic track. Very nice skiing, with a small amount of debris and tracks a little worn at the corners as is typical. There was an icy patch or two including one on a downhill curve near the 1.5 mile marker, where I was using the skate deck. A few small patches of dirt in the snow on the west side track, but nothing bothersome for no-wax, casual skis. Enjoy the skiing!

Great conditions! An occasional stick here and there. Was able to use race skis without fear of ruining base. Skied all trails and there was full coverage and a decent base.

Fun fast conditions for classic. Skied the purple loop and found great tracks, especially considering what the groomers had to work with. Found that my trusty no wax skis worked best. Just enough debris to gum up a kick zone. If you see the groomers out and about, please tell them how much we appreciate their work. Arrive early. Got there at 9:30 and the lot was filling fast. By 11:30 the line at the rangers station was all the way back to Kettle Moraine Scenic Drive.

Grooming [ Trails Open: Partial, ]
|
We've had two thaws in as many weeks with no new snow. The trail system is very hard and hard to do much with. What we have that's skiable is the Brown Trail and we created a loop using the Green trail with a backwards Red trail to return to the Green trail. The best way to access this loop is to ski backwards on the Purple trail which is groomed out to the marsh and use one of the cut throughs. Please be careful as people will be skiing this section in both directions.

Trails were groomed Sunday by Tony. Skied parts of most trails today. Skate lane is good, tracks are shallow and icy with debris on trails. The best loop is the red to green to purple trail. It was pretty darn good. Please don't skate ski if the trails are soft in above freezing weather.

I stopped by the trailhead and happened to bump into the groomer who reported he was out grooming this morning and then skied. He reported good conditions and he was able to use his best skis. If you go on Monday, please do not ski if the conditions are too soft.
