Very good snow coverage through out the trails. Some areas have well defined tracks that are very good. There are also many wind blown areas that need the track reset. The skate lane is the same way. May be the extreme cold is finally on the way out?

Went out just before dusk last night and got to enjoy a really nice sunset ski. The good news - the trail is back up to 100% coverage! The not so good news - it's actually like 135% coverage.... the wind has drifted enough snow to nearly erase some portions of the trail. If you know where you're going, you can stay on top of the skate deck for the most part, although I found myself in the deep stuff a couple of times. The classic tracks were very nearly filled. Hoping a fresh groom will pack down all the drifted in snow and get that coverage to stick around a while!

Skate lane and classic tracks groomed Monday night, has set up real nice. Wind should be low this week so things should stay. Skate track needs another groom to level things out (fairly choppy). Classic tracks have sticks and patches of ground but only a handful of spots. Watch for a couple pieces of gravel at the bridge crossing. Side note: 2.5 miles of classic tracks at Memorial Park in Neenah. Some exposed debris again so B skis or less.

I skied the trails and it was very wind blown. Very hard to skate ski because it was deep snow. People have been out classic skiing so there are tracks for that. I would recommend skate skiing someplace else until it is groomed again.

Headed over to bridgewood today around 4:30, hoping that the groomer had made it out yesterday or today to pack down the snow that fell Saturday night into Sunday. Lo and behold - he did indeed! Not only had he groomed, but it appears he’s looking to expand the trail a bit! No classic tracks were set. Unfortunately, much to my chagrin, it seems that although at least 2” fell on my driveway 5 minutes away, the golf course held far less snow. In some places the difference between the groomed skate deck and fresh snow was < 1/4”. I suspect the wind blew most of the fresh snow off. As such, there are some large dirt patches, avoidable only by skiing of course. Thanks a million to the groomer!

Skied a couple loops tonight. Was brutally windy. The trail has been freshly groomed after the weekends new snow, and it has set up nice and firm but unfortunately the heavy winds today knocked quite a bit of debris down. Some really nice sections, but some cluttered with leaves and needles.

Trail is gettin pretty boogery. Slow, old snow. Lots of debris and grass. Found a dirt patch that sent me tumbling. Didn’t realize my bindings were ‘quick-release’. Think that’s it for Bridgewood until we get some more snow. Donation box has been put out, so bring your cash to support the groomer!

Skate Deck is starting to get pretty thin. Probably 1" or less on most of the trail. ~30% of the trail has debris to get around, but still skiable as the bare spots and debris are mostly able to be skied around. Watch out for some larger rocks on the Northernmost section of trail near the minigolf course and back parking lot. The western-most loop and straightaway has a lot of grass coming through. May get too thin to ski on if it gets too warm.

Thanks again to whomever is now grooming at Bridgewood! Very nicely groomed, especially given the lack of snowfall. Thank you for making the trails wider! Had a nice ski on Friday night. Mostly covered, however trail was starting to get pretty thin in several areas. Come on snow! Happy to contribute to the cause if/when a donation box gets put out!

Super excited to hear and see that Bridgewood is still being groomed! Thanks to Erich for the post and heads up! The skate lane was a bit narrow. Utmost thanks to whomever picked up the torch! Would be more than happy to donate to the cause if a box gets put up (or other means of collection). Would love a bit wider skate lane, but really just happy to continue being able to enjoy a nice, fun ski so close to home!
