Trails have been groomed and the deck is hard and fast, not much leaf litter. Really good conditions for this trail other than the typical post holes from walkers. If you see anyone walking on the skate deck please educate them that deck isn't for walking, plenty of other trails to walk or snowshoe on in the park.

Ski trails not yet groomed from snow fall last night. Too much snow to skate as of 11:00 am.

Second grooming on Thursday morning smoothed out several rough areas from initial, post snowfall grooming on Wednesday. It is setting up nicely. Classic track felt solid and fast with some pole plants breaking through. Watch for the occasional low hanging branch. Grooming just a little narrow on eastbound hill from creek and on east side of power pole knob in clay pit off 93. Also FYI, though snowmobile has groomed some single track, fat biking still pretty tough with soft conditions.

Awful, not skiable sadly. Large patches of ground visible. I usually skate, but neither skate not classic would work with current conditions.

I'm from Madison where we have no snow, so I thought it was awesome just to get out. All trails covered, some pine tree litter and rare bare spot, uneven too but hey, it's still great to get out in that winter sun! Skated with a child in tow!

I went to Lowes Creek and skied all the trails there. The hill coming up from the west side was pretty thin with snow. Not bad for December in Eau Claire.
