Get here quick. Beautiful conditions with groomed snow topped with a half inch of fresh that skiers have packed just enough. Both man made snow and natural sides were great.

Great new snow made the trails around the quaking bog and Eloise Butler really fun. Good tracks all through, no ice showing, and pleasant temps. I don't think March skiing has ever been so good!

Skied the natural snow trails—found them well groomed and faster than I expected with the temperature and new snow. A couple softer spots and ice under bridges were only tough spots but overall very good. (Do we think this base will last to July?).

The amazing winter in south Wirth continues. With the deep natural snow the course has been getting groomed including resetting the classic track daily. With the track now set by ATV rather than snowmobile, it is a far better classic course than ever before. Classic track and skate deck are both perfect.

Skied the natural snow from The Trailhead out and around Wirth Lake and back. The snow coverage was all very good, except for under the bridges (reason for rating B skis). A little soft and slow, but still had glide. It was a beautiful day to be out and very good for bonus skiing!

Nice skate deck around the Bog and Butler. Groomers did a solid job. The only reason I said B skis is there was quite a bit of debris. Enjoy the natural trails while we have em!

After several loops on snowmaking I decided that this might be my last chance to do the natural snow of Eloise Butler and Bog trails, which I hadn't done at all thus far this season. I was pleasantly surprised and glad I ventured away from the tried and true. Although there were patches where it looked like it might be icy, they weren't. Conditions actually seemed to improve in the afternoon. The only exception was crossing Wirth Lake, but I found the skiing better on the ungroomed snow to the side of the groomed lane. I concluded that the sweet spot is between 37 and 40 degrees under overcast skies.

Skyline and Tornado in good shape with a few icy spots. Wirth Lake is alright but not the best. Fingers crossed the natural snow will last another couple weeks.

Skied much of natural trails including the lake and trails on other side of the lake were not groomed but golf course and tornado alley and beyond were freshly groomed and tracks were amazing! Also took the bridge over to the upper stadium and skied Judy's loop, and everything over there! Tracks were beautiful and some segments had not even been skied yet! Thanks to the groomers for getting out there early and having it ready for a beautiful, sunny, Sunday ski!
