The Red Cedar trail was groomed and tracked from Menomonie to Downsville. The trail has a good base and a few inches of new snow have covered most of the leaves and small debris. Two classic tracks were set from Menomonie to Irvington and one classic track from Irvington to Downsville allowing for a wider skate lane.

Classic skied 4 miles south from Menomonie and back. Trail is fully covered with new snow over hard packed snow/ice. Track are in good shape. Some people skate skiing out who looked like they are going ok.

The Red Cedar trail was groomed and tracked from the trail head in Menomonie to Downsville. The snow and base are in good condition with occasional patches of ice. There are stretches of the trail where there are leaves and small debris. Overall, very skiable but leaves and debris make conditions fair.

Mother Nature's warm up last week and now with the colder weather, the trail is all ice. I skied about 1/2K in the tracks but it was too icy to continue even though it's flat. Hopefully we receive snow soon.

Mostly great coverage--some minor areas have debris. Ice trail under the bridge at Irvington is treacherous and mixed with rocks, but the skate deck improves south of there. Some unfortunate snowmobile traffic ruined the peaceful morning, but oddly improved the granularity of the trail. Great scenery.

The Red Cedar trail was groomed for skating and classic from Menomonie to Downsville. Most hanging branches and trees were trimmed but that will be an ongoing process. The trail is in very good condition.

Skied from Menomonie to Irvington. Excellent coverage from the snow. Still a bit soft for skating, but great day to be out. No tracks set for classic.

The Red cedar trail was rolled from Menomonie to Downsville. A number of trees and large branches were cleared as well as some of the low hanging branches. Grooming plans: The trail will be groomed and tracked tomorrow morning.

Skied from Irvington to Downsville. Some debris on the trail and an occasional bare spot but still in very good shape considering the weather. Few icy spots, but a fast and pleasant ski.
