Had a great afternoon skiing novice trail. From the overnight snow, the tracks and skate deck were not icy. 20° and warm sun. Tolerable wind chill. Talked with another skier who drove from Chicago to catch some spring snow.

With the new snow and colder temperatures the groomers were able to cleanup the skate lane and set the tracks. The wind might cause some drifting but the trails are firm and ready to go. They plan to go out again tomorrow morning with the Pisten Bully.

The groomers had been out and groomed the Novice and Wolverine Loop while I was there. New tracks were fast and the skate lane looked good. We have received about 4 inches of new snow. It is wetter and we had some rain yesterday but the trails are in great shape with a lot of base. Spring skiing should be excellent this weekend.

What a great ski this afternoon striding novice loop a few times. The tracks were in excellent shape. Skate deck was a bit soft and very doable. Great grooming still happening with hardly any debris on trails. Excellent conditions.

Groomers were out this morning with the Pisten Bully. The skate lane groomed and track set the Wolverine Trail up the headwall to Cliffs trail, down Pit Run to Three Sister Bridge, up Stairway to Heaven and around Wolverine back to the Chalet and around the Novice. Conditions are excellent.

All trails were groomed this morning after 4" of new snow overnight. Skate deck was soft. Striding was great with solid track walls. Temps got to 30° . Lots of folks out. It was reported from Madison skiers that Skinny Ski is the go to site to chase where the snow is for a long weekend.

Never skied here before, what a great place! Lots of climbs and good downhills. Open hardwood forest was great for views. Beautiful warming house. Trails are marked very well with excellent maps. Glad I checked it out. They were grooming as I was skiing so lots of virgin corduroy for me.

Excellent! Fresh PistenBully grooming. Rumor has it that the trails were raked by hand. They were largely debris free, firm, and fast. The PB grooming provided very firm pole plants for the classic tracks. Wow! Nice skiing!

Beautiful conditions today. First half of Wolverine trail had been groomed very recently. Tracks were a bit rougher on the back half but still in good shape with very little debris. First time skiing there and it appears that dogs are welcome. Watch out for the poopers.

All trails groomed this morning. Skate deck not as soft as yesterday. Classic tracks were excellent, very solid. Grooming plans: Groomers will head out again Sunday. Enjoy a relaxing post Birkie ski. Chalet open and warm.
