All trails tracked and groomed. Warm weather made for some soft snow and wet conditions. Lower overnight temperatures should have set the trail nicely. Overall good conditions.

Escanaba Trail is among my favorite classic tracks. The ups and downs and twists and turns make for an exciting xc ski experience. I only fell twice which isn't bad with this challenging trail. The tracks were firm and track speed was good. The scenery here is spectacular. I would rate overall conditions as good to very good.

A really nice ski today around the Red Loop. Soft snow over well set track made for a special experience. The Northwoods at it's old time best with twist and turns set among lakes, dipsy doodles, swamps, highlands, and some old fashioned narrow gauge rail bed left over from some long ago time with single track narrowness. If you can make it, do.

Unbelievably gorgeous! I think I was the second skier on the meticulously groomed trails. If you are a classic skier who likes to stay in the tracks for descents, this is your place. Narrow, winding, and through snow-covered pines! I skied red to the bypass blue, followed by yellow for about 9 miles and was met with great conditions the whole way.
