Kudos to the groomer. The trails were awesome this morning. Surprised not more people out there. Tracks were great and the skate deck looked good, though little used. Skied the lower trails mostly. Hope to see Star Wars open.

Most trails were rolled, groomed and tracked this morning. One pass was made on Hawk Ridge. Excellent condition with the new snow as it dried out nicely overnight.

Most trails were rolled, groomed and tracked this morning. Trails not groomed are South Squirrel Tale, Buck Ridge and roller coaster. Plenty of base with full coverage and almost no debris.

Set classic tracks in the 2 inches of wet snow that covers the trail. Set tracks on lower pines, upper pines, logging road, fuji cutoff, spring run and the west half of skyline. Quite a few hikers/snowshoers using the trail. Not great skiing, but better than nothing!

Still great Spring skiing. The classic track is in good shape. The skate deck could use some work. Been out there 3 of the last 4 days and hardly anyone has been out. Get out while you can, people have started walking on the trails.

Hoffman is ready to ski! All trails were rolled, groomed and tracked except for Star Wars and Buck Ridge. We'll get to those another day.

Trails skied great in the late morning. The grooming touch up today did wonders to make the deck down right pleasant. I was expecting something crunchy and icy so this was a pleasant surprise. Some leaves and twigs starting to collect on the deck but nothing big. Still skiing race skis. Encountered a crew from snowless Wisconsin Dells. FYI, no tracks set which made the skate deck extra wide and nice.

Central- southeast loops (as you look at map view) are open and in good shape for skate skiing. No classic tracks are set. Ground was firm but top layer still have decent traction for skate in about 90-95 percent of groomed trails. It was 35 degrees today so conditions might harden slightly overnight. Much better conditions than expected. Open and groomed trails were: lower pines, upper pines, logging, fuji-cutoff, spring run, juba run.

The lower trails were groomed this morning. The skate lane looks to have improved. The coarse icy snow has broken up in most places. Take care between 5 and 6 and the hill on Jubas Run at 18 due to ice and a thin base.

Fantastic timing from Dave grooming on Wednesday! Deck is firm and sounds icy but is in great shape. It's smooth and there is just enough give you can dependably get an edge. All lower trails open. Coverage is still great. Some debris starting to show up but not bad. Ski your fastest skis! (No classic track).
