MECCA Trails are gradually coming to life again after last week's snowstorm which resulted in hundreds of trees falling across the ski and snowshoe trails. Here is the latest: Wolf - skiable, trees cleared, rolled, limited tree debris, tracks set and skate lanes combed. Warmup Loop - skiable, trees cleared, rolled, limited tree debris, tracks set and skate lane combed. Moose - skiable, trees cleared, rolled, moderate tree debris. Homestead - not skiable, wetland packed today by snowshoers to promote freezing. Osprey - skiable but rough, trees cleared but additional cleanup required, rolled, moderate tree debris. Bluebird - skiable, trees cleared, rolled, very little tree debris. Voss Lake, Otter. Birch - portions of Otter skiable however the majority of the loops need tree removal and grooming. Volunteers have been amazing working in harsh conditions removing hundreds of trees. Check our webpage to see when the next workday is scheduled.

Warmup and Wolf Looped trails were groomed and track-set this morning. Conditions are mostly good, but a little rough in the areas that had numerous windfalls. Use your B skis. Snowshoers reported the Mercer Springs trail is in great shape, with some snow-covered trees bent over the trail. The Flowage Trailhead has not opened for skiing. MECCA is 20% open from the Chalet Trailhead. Grooming team and volunteers put in over 75 hours this week removing windfalls.

The Wolf and Warmup loops are rolled but in rough conditions. The Flowage trailhead is closed due to trees down near the parking lot. Groomers and volunteers are out preparing other trails and removing downed trees.
