Green and Blue loops were leveled and tracked and are in good condition (good skis ok). There are still a few thin areas. A new track was set on the Red loop everywhere there is enough snow to do so. Overall condition of the red loop is fair with some areas of very thin snow cover. The yellow loop is less than 1/2 tracked. Thick conifer cover on much of that loop means there is little snow on the trail. The yellow loop is in poor condition overall due to poor snow cover. B skis or rock skis on the red and yellow loops.

Skied blue trail that was tracked and in good shape. Good skis were fine on blue trail. Did not ski red trail, but saw it was tracked. Reason for selecting B skis is because with the relatively small amount of snow the red trail could be thin under trees and rocky in places. Again, thank you to DNR / state groomers for doing a good job with minimal snow.

Trail received 2-3" of light, fluffy new snow. All loops were packed and tracks were set everywhere there is enough snow to do so. Green and Blue loops are completely tracked and in fair to good condition (Probably ok for good skis). The worst part of those loops is the segment from the trailhead to where the red loop splits off. Red loop is mostly tracked with some fair to good conditions and some poor conditions where snow cover is thin (B skis if you're careful, otherwise rocks skis). The yellow loop is less than 1/2 tracked. Thick conifer cover on much of that loop means there is little snow on the trail. The yellow loop is in poor condition due to poor snow cover (Rock skis).

Approximately 4" new snow. Red and yellow loops were packed with the snowmobile and flat groomed. Skiing is not recommended on these loops due to poor snow cover and protruding rocks and roots. Blue and green loops were rolled and track was set on all of these loops except for the segment from the trailhead to where the red loop splits off. Some fair, some poor condition. Expect some thin spots and shallow track. Need more snow!

Approximately 3" new snow. Red and yellow loops were packed with the snowmobile. Skiing is not recommended on these loops due to poor snow cover. Blue and green loops were rolled. Poor conditions and rock skis recommended on these loops. No tracks will be set until we get more snow.

There is about 7" of snow on the ground. The first rolling/packing of the trails was done this morning. Overall, skiing is not recommended until we get more snow, but if you can't wait to get out then use rock skis and stick to the green or blue loops which will be most skiable.
