The 400m manmade loop was open and groomed, though getting a little chopped up by the time we went around 2pm. Most of the people on that loop were skate skiing. It didn't look like anything else was groomed, but we could see tracks tamped down from enough people doing classic skiing along the same path for the trails heading west.
People were not wearing masks but they were staying 6 feet apart or more, which I believe is still the current recommendation for outdoors (Dane County Public Health website: "We strongly recommend wearing a face covering when you are outdoors and unable to stay six feet from people you don’t live with.").

West side wooded area of Elver skied in but not groomed. No machine tracks. Lots of snow. I didn't check out the manmade loop or the east side. And hey, please wear masks when other skiers are near you! [ Note: Please check your local ordinances for mask mandates and pandemic recommendations -- Ed. ]

No grooming today. Snow storm stopped at noon. Several skiers slogging thru 6-8 inches of ungroomed snow on the short snowmaking loop. Skier made tracks on the west trails only. Two PB groomers ready to go. Hopefully all will be groomed tomorrow morning.

No grooming, but at least 20 others were out there when I was, bushwacking around and setting trail ourselves. Too many footprints in the middle of trails, I hope they will go to the side as we ski it in.

Skied the 400 m artificial loop around 11:30 am. The snow is getting soft but not bad at all. Classic tracks are well established but soft. As mentioned before there is a spot getting a bit thin at the bottom of the hill so look out for that.

Really nice, short manmade loop. I could've used nice skis but there's one spot that's just a little sketchy, recommend B skis for those skiing tomorrow. There was a track set but it looked relatively soft. I think it's unlikely to be in good shape with warm weather, so get out here ASAP. I only saw two other people the entire two hours I was there!

The 400m man-made snow loop was softer and busier this morning than on Saturday, but still 100% as fun. Classic tracks were set. Thank you Madnorski!

A 400 meter man-made snow loop is open! No classic tracks set, I am not sure if they are planning on doing that anytime soon. Decent conditions for early season skiing. Felt fast.
