Morning
Firsthand: Classic 
[ Trails Open: All, Good skis ]
Celebrating some of the deepest snow in Wisconsin, the fine folks in Mercer have created a minor miracle, turning 10 inches into a completely covered deck, some nice classic track on the Moose trail, and nearly perfect conditions. To be bathed in falling hoar frost, as you glide through valleys of pine and birch, is an experience to be remembered. Get here, while these great conditions last!

Overall, conditions were good for skate skiing. However, there were no tracks set for the classic skiers. The skate deck was firm but as the temperatures warmed during the afternoon, my glide wax proved to be a little too cold resulting in my speed slowing as the temperatures rose. The scenery was splendid with snow still clinging to the trees from the recent snowfall. It was a fairly busy day with skiers as I came across many other skiers during my 20k outing.

The entire trail system was combed this morning. Conditions are very good to excellent for skate skiing. We've had mechanical problems that have prevented us from setting tracks, we hope to resolve the problems shortly.

Trails had been rolled with an inch or two of new snow on top. No tracks set yet. New snow made for enjoyable skating. Always a nice stop on the way to Ironwood. Snowing when we quit at sunset.
