Skied almost all trails. Good conditions in general, but a fair amount of debris on flat parts, especially early in the blue loop. Would advise B skis to those who have them; I only have one pair, and don't regret skiing with it.

Skied all trails! Coverage on hills was great, flats in pine areas (mostly blue loop) was littered with pine cones and some bare spots. Definitely B ski conditions until more snow comes but still fun and fast!

I skied the blue, red, orange, green and brown trails at Nordic. I found the conditions to be excellent given the lack of snow in the area. Full trail was groomed yesterday. The end of the blue loop in the pines had a lot of debris, proceed with caution. I'd skip that whole part and wouldn't ski white at all. Also, was advised if skiing blue skip the first left. Otherwise fantastic day of skiing with a lot of friendly faces!

Skated all trails. The groomer was working mid/late morning through early afternoon. Everything was groomed except the hilly portion of the blue loop (although this could have been groomed after I went through). Skate deck was very good, a smidge soft since just groomed. I would say for 95% of the trails you could use your good skis. There are a few sections in the pines (first loop of blue and parts of the white) that were thin, hence the B ski rating. Beautiful day out on the trails, and the most amazing part was I did not see one foot print! Thanks to the groomers for all their efforts! As always Nordic is well worth the trip!

Skied the blue (less the black diamond at the end). Tracks are decent, except in the pines where they are mostly bare. I also skied the orange, white and brown and they were mostly good to fair. To state the obvious, they need a few more inches of snow to set better tracks. All in all, worth the drive from IL. I would absolutely recommend B skis until there is more snow. Enjoy!

Got a 9.1 mile Blue loop in the afternoon. I classic skied and used my good skin skis. There was a lot of debris in the classic tracks and quite a few bare spots. I used my good skis but probably should not have. The skate deck looked ok though. Beautiful place to ski!

Fairly good conditions today. Looks like it hadn't been groomed since Monday, but it firmed up pretty good. Just a few thin spots, otherwise good skiing.

We skied the first part of the blue loop Tuesday. The skate deck was in good condition but a little soft. The classical tracks through the pines was exposed to grass in multiple areas. We skied on the skate lane through the pines. Otherwise if you don't mind skiing out of the tracks conditions are good.

Good conditions today with additional snow this morning. Was being groomed as I skied. Soft and a bit slow, but good coverage in most areas. Just a few thinner spots, but nice to have good skiing again.

Fluffy soft snow. I skated the Blue outer loop, the orange loop, and the purple. Kudos to the DNR folks here. I saw the groomer four times in two hours of skiing. This fluff is getting packed down. Skating is a bit slow in this type of snow conditions but I used good skis and had no issues. It is a mast year, so in the pines there will be pine cones but they are easily avoidable. Striders were enjoying the deck but the set track is at a minimum. The snow just doesn't support it yet. Dress warmly and have a relaxed ski. This is not PR setting snow but it is a smooth ride with beautiful scenery with either technique. Get some!
