The skiing was great, firm track with some light new snow. Skied several laps on Blackberry. The club had a meet and greet at the trailhead, good conversation and snacks.

Enjoyed a beautiful afternoon ski at Machickanee today, 7F and sunny. Tracks are quite nice, especially given the lack of recent snow. Glide was good as were pole plants. The only downside was the areas of oak and beech leaves scattered intermittently throughout. Snow coverage is good throughout.

After seeing Brown County reported most of their trails in "poor" condition today, I headed up to Machickanee. The track was set, and the 6 mile loop was in great shape. Snow was a bit sticky in sunny areas, but the trail looked great and it was a successful ski overall.

Skied all the trails today. Track has been set on all trails. Tracks are a little thin in some spots, like under the pines, but very skiable. Met several happy skiers as it snowed a little in the early afternoon. Skied with the groomer checking out his work.

Blackberry has been rolled and combed, excellent base, great skied in track. Coralberry and Timber wolf have a solid base and a decent skied in track. Plenty of fresh snow still in the trees, very beautiful ski.

Great powdery conditions, plenty of coverage. Solid track groomed in throughout the system. A gem, surprisingly scenic and challenging in parts.

I skied all trails, all snow covered and very skiable. Blackberry and Brehmer Creek trails have been packed, not enough snow to set track. They do have skied in tracks. Coralberry and Timberwolf have a skied in track.

No grooming yet. I skied Blackberry and Coralberry, total coverage on all trails. Plenty of foot tracks on Blackberry trail but lots of snow so not a problem. Advise caution on the bigger hills.
