Grooming

We were out and groomed today even with the deep freeze coming. Trail came out excellent with good deep tracks and a super fast hard deck. So no excuses not getting out and skiing, but bundle up. Don't forget the Candlite on Saturday evening starting at 5:00 PM.

Icy with debris present. Fast conditions with quick stops from the debris. Difficult classic tracks for beginners, but decent conditions for skate ski.

Bundle up and get out on the trails. The classical track is in great shape and the skating lanes have been touched up this morning. When your done stop at the Chalet for some hot chocolate or tea and a few fresh cookies. See you on the trails!

We skied the MECCA Trails Tuesday afternoon. The trails were excellent, great snow coverage, 5" of base, no bare spots and tracks were near perfect. It was great to see some students from Fe University learn to ski program on the trails.

Once again our great crew was out battling the elements to bring everyone some of the best skiing in Northern Wisconsin. Trail was totally groomed with new tracks set and is in excellent condition for the weekend. Those of you up here for the SISU, check MECCA out for a much more leisurely ski on your way home, with a nice warm chalet to relax in for those that don't feel like skiing.

Grooming 
[ Trails Open: All, Good skis ]
With the latest snowfall, all we had to do is wait for the temps to drop and we got out and groomed the trail system. Conditions are very good to excellent, but the wind was howling while grooming so expect some drifting in the open areas. We will be re grooming before the weekend so get out and cut up the trail this week.

I skied here three weeks ago and conditions have improved immensely since then. All the trails appeared to have been freshly groomed. The skate deck was reasonably firm and about average speed. The scenery is always spectacular. I skied about 14 km and conditions were good to very good.

Happy New Year everyone, and with the new year we got a little more snow for the trail. Trail has been groomed and tracked this morning and ready for a great winter of skiing. Some rough spots are still out there, but as a whole the trail is in great shape. Anyone interested in learning more about skiing contact Fe University which will be giving a lesson on January 3rd. See you on the trail!

2 to 3" fresh, light snow on top of firm, groomed skate deck and classic tracks. Always a nice finish to an Ironwood trip. Skied all the skate trails, just enough snow for fun ski.
