Groomer was out this morning at zero dark thirty and just got home. We received 1" of fresh snow overnight, the entire skate lane was combed, tracks are firm. Conditions are excellent! Snowshoe trails are also in great shape.

This is the first time anywhere this ski season that I can say conditions were excellent. I skate skied the entire trail system on freshly groomed trails. Mine were the first tracks on the fresh corduroy. The skate deck was firm as were the classic tracks for double poling. Speed was very good and control on the downhills was also excellent. Kudos to the groomers.

Groomers were out tonight combing the skate lanes on the Claire d' Loon 5K, Turtle River Pursuit 11K, and the Flowage 15K Freestyle courses, Tracks set on Monday are holding firm. The 21K trail system is in good to very good condition with a few thin spots. Mercer Springs Snowshoe Tour loops are in good condition through upland forests and frozen wetlands.

3" New Snow on Sunday. Grooming team was out this morning. Tracks were reset and skate lanes have been renovated and combed twice. The classic tracks and skate lane should set up nicely tonight with single digit temps. Trails are in very good condition, base is 5-6". Snowshoe trails are in very good conditions.

Groomed skate lanes in early morning, turned out to be very firm with good corduroy. Tracks left in place. Overnight dusting of lake affect snow left a nice frosting.
