Afternoon
Firsthand: Freestyle 
[ Trails Open: All, Good skis ]
Groomer went around and rolled. With the snowball snow the staff did a great job going around. There is classic on both sides of the road. Some tricky areas with skimobile tracks and poles go thru but hey, good skating and skiing!

Golf course is not skiable after the rain and sleet. Many open areas. Soft snow in woods with fair coverage- classic skiing looks possible.

Trail conditions are packed and much more solid then Friday conditions. Grooming has been done and done very well, but due to the wind there are some small twigs and pine needles on trail. Enjoy!

Conditions adequate. Deck not hard yet. Needs to be compressed and smoothed out. With some grooming though, could be a great to excellent conditions this weekend. And someone left a pair of Salomon skate skis stuck in the snow bank lining the parking area; probably a women's or youth pair of skis.

Woot to more grooming... thanks! That would help compact it more and last longer. Today is still good, though a bit squishy. Poles do poke through to the asphalt about half the time. So thankfully for this awesome skate track at Brown Deer Park!

Firsthand: Classic 
[ Trails Open: All, Good skis ]
Classic trail is in excellent condition, though tracks are a bit shallow. Great grip and glide. If you are waxing, green is the wax of the day.

Excellent conditions. Firm with good coverage, with more grooming occurring as I finished at 10 am. Some detours around tracks from arborist crews. Please help support grooming costs with a donation to Friends of Brown Deer park.

Wind hammered and drifted. Not regroomed and an additional path plowed for tree work. Will be groomed this evening should be good for tomorrow according to park staff.

It was soft yesterday afternoon but had firmed up nicely this afternoon. The groomer had not gone around since Wednesday midday but the track was good with some drifting beginning. Another plowed road for tree work was found on the north east corner but there was enough snow to pass easily over grass. Poles punctured thru but rarely an asphalt strike. Can't beat the drive time!

Excellent conditions on golf course for skating. No tracks set. In the woods on the north side of the park, the bridge is fixed and lots of classic skiers out today. Thank you to the Milwaukee county park staff for a great job grooming!
