Great conditions on this interesting trail system. Nicely groomed for classical and skate. Tracks were firm and fast. Skate lane is quite wide in most sections. Good variety in terrain. There is even a decent hill under the power line. Almost Birkiesque!

Excellent conditions at Pioneer Creek. All trails were cut/combed and track reset. The deck is clean and solid.

With the fresh snow I was able to cut, level and track the entire system. Trails are beautiful as is the scenery. Happy skiing!

This is a new find. After I made my way out of the town park to Pioneer Trails I was pleasantly surprised by the wide skate deck and peaceful surroundings. I was not expecting this hidden gem. Thanks for giving the residence/visitors of the Northwoods another wonderful place to enjoy skiing!

Excellent conditions with the new 3" of snow. With the falling temps the deck and track set up really nice. We have a smooth deck and deep track set through out the system. Expect some drifting in the open areas.

Due to the recent thaw the deck and tracks were tore up. The trail is combed and a little on the chunky side. The track was reset and skiable.

Excellent recent grooming with deep classic tracks and firm skating deck. However, 2 inches of new snow by the time we finished changes rating. There were no obvious ill effects from the recent warming, so trail should be great again after regrooming.

The trails were perfectly groomed. We skied it on Thursday, Saturday and Sunday mornings. I did the first loop, the connector to the lollipop. My husband did that and the other loops, all in excellent condition!

Happy to report, the snow is in Conover! This trail system, which has nearly infinite potential, is throroughly covered in fluffy powder, 8 inches worth, with a hard base. Bring your best wax job, and get ready to marathon, on these gentle, but technical, loops. Heated, flush toilets, and proximity to US 45, are both additional incentives.

All trails combed and a track set. Trails are in good condition with pine needle and leaf debris visible. Get out and enjoy the weather!
