The trail was groomed perfectly. I skated but used the tracks on downhills too. Perfect corduroy (no left over snow or ledges of snow)... with a light dusting on a firm deck. Couldn’t ask for anything more.

New snow was groomed and track set in top notch (typical Pete M meticulous grooming) condition, when we skied in the morning. The base is excellent. A wolf had visited one outlying trail after Pete groomed before daylight and left a series of tracks in the skate lane. That completed our great experience.

It was a great ski day at Afterglow. The trails were immaculately groomed for both skate and diagonal. There is plenty of snow and the scenery was beautiful. The trails, as usual, were a perfect 10+.

Excellent conditions exist. All classic tracks reset. All skate lanes groomed. For the best conditions we only groom at night. Trail groomed at 4am this morning. Trails groomed 27 times this season.

The conditions were superb today. Skate deck was solid and tracks were set. Perfect temps and conditions for a fast skate in the woods. Could not ask for more. A always a great place to ski.

After being gone from the Northwoods for 5 years, it was refreshing to go skiing at Afterglow again and find the high standard of grooming has not changed. I skated nearly all the trails and found a solid base with light dusting of snow on top (although that changed overnight). Conditions were great and I anticipate them remaining so. Trails are leveled nicely, so should ski well going forward. Thanks for all the work Pete!

Excellent conditions. All skate lanes groomed. More than half of the classic tracks reset. Phelps trail still closed due to flooding. Should be able to open that soon. Wolf tracks all over Bob's Trail #5. I could count at least 4 sets of tracks traveling together. Snow stopped yesterday morning and I was grooming just after dark so these tracks were made during the day, yesterday. Trails have been groomed 24 times this season.

Perfect conditions exist. All classic tracks reset. All skate lanes groomed. Still tons of sticks falling from the recent ice storm. Stopped well over 100 times to throw sticks off the trail. Trails have been groomed 23 times this season.
