All trails have been groomed once again. Lots of oak leaves scattered throughout the trails and tracks. There is also lots of deer activity on the trails making them really rough in some areas.

Trails were groomed today. With the crusty snow the tracks are not perfect but decent. I had skins on from my classic skis and they glided over the few leaved that were present. Thanks Tom (the new county groomer) for grooming Wolf today.

Trails have not been groomed since the last snow/freezing rain events. There are lots of animal tracks on the trails and poles were getting stuck in the crusty snow.

The trails are surprisingly good given the weekend warm-up. That said, there are a number of icy spots and a lot of oak leaves and debris on sections of the track. Just be aware and careful. Also, someone decided to skate on the shelter loop, which didn't help the quality of the track -- Wolf Lake is classic ski only. It might help to have a sign at the entrance.

Skied the trails again today. Not too much to report since no new snow since last week and no need to groom. With lack of new snow, the oak leaves are more present in spots where the oaks grow. Still very good out there.

Great skiing. Smooth, well groomed track. Right pole plant soft in a few areas. Just a touch of light snow made for good kick.

All trails were groomed this morning and are in great shape.

Great skiing today on well groomed trails. Snow from pine branches had fallen on segments of the groomed trail, but that happens after 13+ inches of snow on a warm day.

All trail segments were packed with a snowmobile today and track was set on all trails. Some trail segments have less than ideal snow because of the overstory pine trees.

County staff will be out packing the trails either mid morning or this afternoon. Trails should be groomed tomorrow (Wednesday) morning.
