The WiDNR had groomed the 2" of recent snow on all the trails today except the Classic only trail. No tracks yet but the skate deck has set up well. Expect a few soft spots. The classic trail had a decent track skied into the new snow.

Firsthand: Freestyle Grooming 
[ Trails Open: All, B skis ]
I finished rolling River, Little Joe, Loop, Red Pine and Nebagamon Creek trails today. I also combed the 1-2" of new snow from last night on the previously rolled trails. All trails are now rolled and combed including the Classic trail. I also skated about 20k and the trails are starting to firm up nicely. No tracks yet. Expect a wave deck with soft spots.

I rolled and combed Oak, Spruce, and White Pine today. The skate deck is setting up nicely, expect soft spots and lumps. No tracks yet. I also skated 15k before dark and was pleased to see how many skiers had enjoyed the trail today.

Morning
Firsthand: Freestyle 
[ Trails Open: Partial, B skis ]
I was the first out at 10am. The Maple and Oak loop were groomed for skating. No classic track set and I doubt they will be able to. It was soft in spots, firm in others. Fairly good coverage throughout but I'd definitely recommend B skis to be safe. The groomer was heading out as I left. Very nice early season conditions. Thank you!

Freshly rolled and the trails have lots of snow on them. We were out Wednesday night and the snow is in really good condition, but only rolled.

Afternoon
Firsthand: Classic Secondhand 
[ Rock skis ]
I skied in about 10k of track on Maple, Oak, Balsam and sections of Loop. I confirmed with the DNR that rolling or grooming will not happen until the nine day rifle deer season is over on November 27. Expect 4-8" of snow with occasional rocks and thin spots. Please remember that Afterhours is open to hunting and and if you plan to ski you should plan to wear blaze orange for your safety.
