I skied purple and some sort of purple green combo. About 75% of the trails are still in great shape and lovely. However, the bare spots are no longer avoidable in at least 5 places (skis had to come off), and there are many very very thin spots and debris lurking in that other 25%. I wouldn't go again... instead I'm calling it a season. The groomers did magic with this though!

I skied the red, purple, green and brown this morning starting around 8:45. All trails were skiable but they are some bare spots, ice and ruts. The downhill on the purple to the marsh is rough and will only get worse in the afternoon sun today.
The good news is the groomer laid a skate deck from the beginning of the green trail to the first purple cutoff. It was beautiful (see photo). You can avoid the purple hill by taking this cutoff.
The groomer had been out this morning. There were a few spots he didn't get and the contrast with the freshly groomed section is remarkable. A fresh groom in the morning after overnight freezing temperatures makes all the difference in the world. Thank you groomer!

Skied at 8:30 AM, skating. Groomer has scratched up the skate Lane, definitely late spring ski conditions. The warmer sun is taking it's toll, especially on the south facing areas. Need to be done skiing mid morning before it gets soft and sticky. Classic track has numerous open spots to the dirt.

I parked right off the road and skated 2 purple loops. Some of the downhill corners took me by surprise as they are icy and rutted making them difficult to navigate. I'd say 2/3s of purple is in good shape. The other third is fair and consists of bare spots (still mostly avoidable), and the iciness I described. Debris in the pines section. I was happy to be on my B/rock skis. While I can't go out tomorrow, I was thinking it would still be in good shape, though I'd wait until it started to warm a bit so some of those icy ruts may soften. Also, when I was finishing my purple on the two way section, I could see the groomer had been through (surprising given how minimal the base is), but the icy spots still weren't much better even with that.

Strided purple trail on fat backcountry wax less skis from 2 to 4pm today. Track was well set by groomers but bare spots now make it problematic. Far right of the corduroy was best for striding. Good snow coverage for skate deck but problem areas starting to show up. Both power line cuts and the long hill at the back of the purple still passable if careful. South facing downhills glazed at 4pm as refreeze set in. Packed powder, firm in the afternoon, is the dominant snow texture. I'd expect it to be worthwhile for a while. Sandhill cranes loud. Thank you grooming crew!

Good coverage from the recent 6" wet snow. Some bare spots easy avoided. Purple, red, brown all groomed. Classic tracks have many bare spots.

Fantastic! Skate skied on the Brown, Purple and Red - all were in great shape and staying firm into the afternoon. 100% coverage on all trails. Green had not been groomed for either skate or classic, but it looked like somebody did some back country skiing there and laid down a track. Some of the best conditions of the season at Greenbush right now. For skating, good skis are okay.

I skied the purple, red, and pink trails this morning. The green trail had not been groomed. The ski track was soft in some sections but solid in others. There is a classic track set on the purple, red, and brown trails. The classic track was bare in some spots and excellent in others. There is a bit of ice in a couple of areas but it is easy to ski around. Some debris in the pines, but not too bad. The sandhill cranes are back, a reminder that we don't have much more time to ski. Get out and enjoy!

Trail system is in very good shape with the purple and brown loops groomed and tracked. There is some debris in the tracks so classic skiers may want to use their B skis. Very pleasantly surprised given the almost total lack of snow in Milwaukee.

Classic skied purple loop. Full snow coverage. Just a very few leaf spots to step over. Cloudy here as well, so no sun damage as of 3.30pm. Very good classic tracks.
