All ski and multi-use trails are groomed and open for both skate and classic skiing. Park crew did a great job of clearing debris from the Dec storm. The multi-use trail system is great for snowshoe and walking. Of course, we can always use more snow.

Finished grooming around 9:00PM so things should set up overnight. Everything got at least a couple passes with the Ginzu. We are still trying to groom in the big snow but also trying to save the base through warmer weather. I think skiers will find a significant improvement, particularly in the Staghorn trail. I tried to flatten it out. There should also be a pretty good track. We already have some thin spots and leaves showing but it is pretty minor. Because of that I suggested B skis. If you are just a little careful, best skis should be OK. I think it looked pretty nice when I left but I often end up feeling like Kenny Chesney when I ski the next morning. He sings: "Last night I came home at 2 with a 10 but at 10 I woke up with a 2." Grooming is often kinda like that. Enjoy it while you can.

Great Sunday skiing on waxless tracking skis, especially on multi-use trails that had been packed but with enough loose snow on the edges to set decent track. Groomed track (the short distance which I skied) was also great for striding. Though the number of kilometers of well-groomed and wide-enough trail is great for skaters, Wissota is truly ideal for tracking on the horse trails that border the prairies or otherwise veer off the main network.

We received a good foot of snow at the park. All trails are open. As of tonight around 9:00PM everything was packed at least twice with the Gator or roller then groomed with the Ginzu. A classic track was set on all trails but it is pretty haphazard in layout. It doesn't "flow" nicely. The skating lane will probably be soft for a while. I plan to test the classic tracks tomorrow morning. The volunteer crew has been busy all day. I think the trails will show it. The multi-use trails that are open for Fat Biking were also rolled.
