The Greenbush crew pulled it off again! Despite downed trees and windblown unstable snow over wet base, skating was a pleasure on what amounted to a near 5k serpentine loop consisting of red and brown trails and the 2-way connector. Only reason for the B skis rating was due to snow snakes that can pull a ski, even a binding. Thank you - 3 times around cured my craving.

I went out and cleared some openings, rolled and set track on campground, blue, brown and red loops. Way too soft to skate ski but classic skiing should be good. With no frost in the ground and no base to work with, expect soft spring skiing conditions.

Parking lots were plowed but no grooming done since recent snow. Broke trail on Black loop. 6-8 inches of powder on crust base. Some ridges were blown clear causing knee deep drifts in spots. Several trees down on trail.

Mother Nature has caused conditions to deteriorate beyond repair. All trails are closed until further notice.

Stick a fork in it. While there are still some good sections and only a few bare spots, many areas are getting grey ice and are melting fast.

I went out early Sunday morning and groomed many passes on the brown and blue trail, those will ski well (B skis). The rest of the system has many thin areas and some very good, skiable with Rock skis (if you go into it with very low expectations). The circle around the ski cabin is glare ice, start by walking 50 feet to the trail on the north end. Enjoy.

We will be hosting the Greenbush Challenge Saturday. This is a middle school and high school team and a public adult race Saturday morning. Trails are closed today in an attempt to preserve what little base we have. Non race course trails will reopen Saturday morning. We expect the race course to be open for public recreational skiing by noon or a little after. Thanks for your understanding. If you would like to participate or volunteer, please visit our website.

In anticipation for hosting races Saturday morning the brown, red to purple cutoff, green to the second cutoff, campground cutoff, and the two-way to the upper lot had the skate deck renovated and new track set. Should all be good skiing except green after the first cutoff. The snow groomed nicely with minimal debris. We will be hosting middle school, high school and adult racing Saturday morning. Check our website if you are interested in participating or volunteering.

DNR contracted tree cutting to take care of 8 hanging trees/limbs over the trail today. Dan and I followed behind with Tids and cleaned up tracks left from equipment. No damage to trails at all, although you might come across some sawdust in a few spots. While we had equipment out we freshened the skate lane up on Blue, Brown, Pink, Red, Purple, and the Green downhill to Purple. Dan also reset some track on sections of trail system. I then skate skied Red and Purple - skate deck was holding up very well, 36 F when I left.

97 percent of the trail is in pretty good shape. Way better than Zillmer. Portions of the marsh and back green have a problem; several large rocks there. Watch out, the rocks are barely hidden by the recent fluffy snow. Recently groomed on Sunday afternoon. The groomers are awesome! Thank you so much! Rock skis A+, good skis C, B+ if you avoid these areas or are careful, weather A+. The pines are pretty clean after the recent snows, except in a few small areas. Nice to ski in the low 30s (and sunshine) after a brutal, three-week cold snap.
