McMiller was very good. Good coverage throughout with just a little debris. Trails were packed pretty well so fairly fast and not icey. I used my good skis but reasonable to use B.

All trails open and groomed. Classic skied the purple loop. No classic tracks were laid because the base is too thin. Some small sticks poking through lots of places but I didn't scrape on any rocks. Soft on top, enough to allow some control on the big downhills. Not icy, and plenty of snow for a good time. What a fun place to ski. Lovely in the woods.

Mostly very good coverage with a few thin spots. Very soft so you will push through at times so possible rock damage. Use B skis for sure or rock if you are picky. Cold weather should firm it up.

Skied the blue loop today. The trails are skiable. Thanks to the DNR crew for grooming. There was maybe 2 to 3 inches of new snow since they groomed. The snow is fluffy and needs to be packed down. There is still debris sticking out of the snow but I was pleasantly surprised with the conditions.

Today: Corn snow, unforgiving, slow, sticky snow. 38 degrees Fahrenheit. 1-2 inch base packed by previous skate and classic skiers. Boot, dog, wildlife impressions also.

1" of new snow, not groomed, ice base in some sections, debris to be expected. I skied the red trail 1.8 KM.

Skied all over the loops and tried to avoid the pines area as a few skiers I crossed paths with said it was terrible and open bare spots. I found many good areas and also some littered in leaves and Skitch and icy. I used rock skis to be safe and it was the right choice. If you really want to ski, it is skiable for sure, just not great as expected. Now, the biathlon loop was in excellent condition other than a few areas. I used my B skis on that loop and it was much more enjoyable.

Skied everything but blue trail. Tracks were fast, got surprisingly good kick with skin skis. Downhills were as fast and icy as you would imagine at 5F but didn't take any spills. Some sticky leaves and pine needles in several areas. One or two branches to ski around but I was comfortable using my good skis.

Skate skied this morning, not recently groomed. Powdery snow on Skate deck, was skiable, just don't expect a freshly groomed deck. Classic tracks set and look pretty good. Plenty of snow, no rocks, debris or thin spots. Was a nice tour thru the woods.

Trails were freshly groomed with good coverage. Skate lanes were level and easy to ski. Classic tracks looked good with no bare spots noted. Lots of leaves on the trail but nothing that would affect skiing. Thanks to the groomers who have done a great job.
