Skied the red loop around 2pm on Tuesday. Trails are pretty marginal, about what you'd expect with recent traffic and weather. Very slippery and icy, poking through in a few places, and you kind of take your life in your hands on the big hill. Skate track is pretty rutted and pocked and has ATV tracks on it at times. Still better than nothing, and faster than driving to Lapham if you live in the southern Milwaukee area!

Very firm base. Classic tracks are largely still skiable, but shallow. The skate deck looked rutted, though there is still decent coverage. A few bare spots (dirt, grass) are beginning to poke through on both. Lots of people have been walking, snowshoeing, skiing and apparently even ATV-ing on the golf course, sometimes crossing the groomed trails. The groomed trail was occasionally hard to follow in low afternoon light due to the amount of off-trail use. Trails are in need of re-grooming, though I'm not sure if it will be possible until there is more snow.

Groomer was out this morning. Trail was groomed and in excellent condition for skating.  All the trees were sparkling. A winter wonderland.

A few places you have to step over small twigs/branches and the trail hasn’t set up yet so it is difficult to skate. The trails easily collapses when pushing off with either poles or skis. Be prepared for a good workout if you plan to go any distance. Maybe it will firm up overnight?

Only a couple of places does the ground poke through the snow. Nicely groomed. Not too busy. Lots of rentals available.
