At 1:30 pm I skied the Blue loop. There was about one half inch of new snow, that had already been skied in. It was absolutely beautiful skiing at 16 degrees. I also skied the Blue loop bypass which is fantastic. Hilly terrain with nice downhills. The last hill before the junction with the main trail was a long fabulous glide.

Skied all trail loops at midday and they were still in very good condition after yesterday's grooming. Still a bit soft and slow with all of the new snow from earlier in the week. We always enjoy this single-track classic gem. Thanks for the grooming!

A wonderful afternoon on the red outer loop, about 15 k of single track skiing joy. If you're old school, like the woods close, the trail twisty turny, undulating, views of lakes, varied tree mixes, this is for you. Single digits or work must have kept the crowds away as we were forerunners. Too bad, they missed the best day of the year.

Grooming and new tracks are perfect as usual. I skied the green loop starting 3pm, temperature of 11 degrees. Perfect grip and glide with swix green wax on wooden skis. It's very beautiful today with the new snow, sunshine and very quiet.

I skied the green loop this afternoon starting at 2:30. 33 degrees and mostly sunny. Wooden skis and toko red wax. Great grip and glide in very good tracks. A lot of skiers here today and everybody loving the beautiful scenery and great tracks. It was a little slow where there were no tracks on the downhills, but overall a really great skiing day despite the warm temperature.

Perfect new tracks today! I skied the yellow loop at 3:15 pm. The snow conditions were perfect, temperature was 10 degrees F. Used toko red wax on wooden skis. Perfect grip and glide. Swix green would have been a better grip wax today, but my skis were already waxed from a few days ago.

We received around 3" of new snow along with strong winds. Parts of the trail were very drifted. All loops were leveled and tracked this morning. Some leaves and other forest debris on the trail due to the strong winds. Overall very good conditions.

A great day to ski this gem of the Northwoods- a single track classic trail. Mid 20's. Started out cloudy, but skies cleared by the time I finished. Used BluExtra. Skied the outer loop. Very good tracks, some fallen leaf debris. that did not seem to effect my glide.
