10 " base, excellent condition, should set well with colder temperatures. Groomed and tracked. Excellent help from new Volunteer Randy Athens, he's a natural.

Combed and tracked 3 inches of recent snowfall with excellent results. Close to 15" base and the skate lane should firm up with frigid temps. Hope to groom again before the weekend.

Great conditions for this time of year. Rolled again today and set track on this beautiful day looks like 5" base with very little debris, if any. Plan to get the tidd tech out Thursday after this sets with the past two storms.

Thank you! Thank you! To all the helpers that cleared the trail. Kudos for an excellent grooming job. We strided from west trailhead with a full deep classic track. The trees were amazing. To quote a fellow skier "oh happy days skiing in November". It looked like most of snowshoeing trails were groomed as well. Get out and ski!

Here's to a shout out to those that gave a big hand helping today clearing downed trees and debris from the trail. Fred and Bruce started on the Eagle River side and met up with at the Muskrat Creek bridge with Pat, Jeff, Jenn and Kewee who started from the Three Lakes side. With the numerous downed trees removed, now the skate lane is corduroy and the tracks are set, thanks to Pat and Jeff running the grooming equipment. Blaze orange suggested if you venture out on Sunday. If you come across these fine folks, let them know how much their efforts are appreciated. A hard day of bending over and very wet gloves getting the debris off the trail.
