Excellent conditions. Firm with good coverage, with more grooming occurring as I finished at 10 am. Some detours around tracks from arborist crews. Please help support grooming costs with a donation to Friends of Brown Deer park.

Wind hammered and drifted. Not regroomed and an additional path plowed for tree work. Will be groomed this evening should be good for tomorrow according to park staff.

It was soft yesterday afternoon but had firmed up nicely this afternoon. The groomer had not gone around since Wednesday midday but the track was good with some drifting beginning. Another plowed road for tree work was found on the north east corner but there was enough snow to pass easily over grass. Poles punctured thru but rarely an asphalt strike. Can't beat the drive time!

Excellent conditions on golf course for skating. No tracks set. In the woods on the north side of the park, the bridge is fixed and lots of classic skiers out today. Thank you to the Milwaukee county park staff for a great job grooming!

Made first tracks on the corduroy at lunchtime today and it was excellent! Skate deck was wider compared to last weekend. Occasional branch poking through but easy to avoid with wider deck. The snow was a bit soft and slow not surprising given it was the first grooming of the 6" or so that we got overnight.

Observed the roller going around at about 11:45 AM Should be excellent once it sets up.

Skated. Poles struck thru to asphalt. If careful, no problem skating although asphalt is lurking. The tree work is there with some plowing that interrupts skate trail. Hasn't been regroomed for several days.

Rolled on golf course cart path. B skis poles and skis will/may go thru to asphalt. No classic set on golf course or across road some manmade tracks across road for classic.
