Pristine conditions this morning. Fresh cord and brilliant sunshine. Skied from the golf course out to Old 32.

Fantastic. Groomed the day before and what a great job they did. Skate deck wide with good glide and pole plants. Classic tracks were smooth and perfect. Great place to practice skate or enjoy a nice long classic. Got off the trails before the temps spiked that day but I hear they got more snow and would be grooming again possibly Wednesday.

Skied from the main parking lot out to 16k and back to the golf course. It was a great morning to ski with brilliant sunshine, mild temperatures and a beautiful, well groomed ski trail.

The skate lane from 6K through 20 K (Old 32 through Gold Loop) was freshly groomed. Skate deck is level, wide, clean and has solid pole plants. Coverage is 100%. The adjacent classic tracks were robust and overall conditions were excellent. Forget Beijing; skiing is better here and so is the parking.

Crisp cord and a flat deck made for fast skiing. Skied the big hills behind the golf course and out to the Old 32 parking lot. The classic track is deep and solid. The trail is in very good shape. Light snow is falling as I write this report.

Started from the Old 32 parking lot at 9:20 am with the temp at 23 degrees. The skate deck was fast and firm and classic track primo. When I finished at around 11:30 am it was about 30 degrees. A great day of skiing in the north woods!

I had another super day on the trail today! The skate deck and classic tracks were in great condition throughout. However I did take a "header" going downhill in the track on the north end due to some "sawdust like" debris scattered on the trail but that was the only part that was a problem...

Everything I skied was perfect. All was freshly PistenBully groomed and tracked. Track had a great glide considering the cold temp. Skate lane was perfect as well. Lots of snow here.

Complete trail Piston Bully groomed. With the cold temps the trail set up quickly. Conditions very good plus. Many skiers on the trail today. This was a very enjoyable day grooming.
