Still very skiable. A couple of less than ski length stretches that will probably be bare ground soon, but overall good depth. As expected, a wide range of almost all possible trail conditions from wet patches that can be avoided, ice, slush, sticky, and really nice.

Once you get away from the area right by the chalet, trails are good. Just a couple of ice patches, no bare patches. Tracks are shallow to the point of being almost nonexistent.

We started skiing around 11 am at 34°. The powdery snow cover is still present in most places. No bare ground was seen but occasional ice patch was crossed by double polling. When we finished, the ice patches were even getting just a little bit soft. Great spring skiing. You may want to time your ski for the warm-up or the cool off of the day.

After yesterdays rain I wanted to check the trail condition to see if it was skiable. It appears the 3/4" of snow that fell as the temperature was going down stuck to the icy top layer. I walked part of the trail and I believe the skaters will be able to catch an edge. There are no usable classic tracks left but touring classics will work just fine. If I didn't have chores to do I'd be out there skiing this afternoon! Be careful on Hwy Q, it's icy!

The woods and trail look beautiful for this mid Jan evening. (*checks calendar...wait just a minute here...I guess this is what the UP looks like in mid March). Skate deck was groomed but soft. Don't know why but I was expecting more moisture in the snow, but joking aside it was dry. Zero debris, definitely good skis. I hopped in the track here and there; deep and a bit faster. Looks great all along the trail.

I did not get to the I loop but it appears everything was groomed again today. The fresh snow really improved the tracks and skate deck. The skate deck was a little soft but should firm up.

The two groomers were finishing when we arrived at 1PM. Snow and classical tracks were new, but a little soft for a bigger skier. The deck was fairly fast firm, but may get icy if it freezes. Only a few wet spots. Great Spring skiing!

"Just happy to be out skiing" which is ski talk for: conditions were a little tough; pretty icy in many spots. The area by the chalet was pretty intimidating, but the northern trails (flyway, lillyhammer, etc) were ok and even decent in some spots. Happy for more snow coming!

Took a road trip to Eau Claire for the night hoping to ski here. There's less snow here than in the twin cities and they have received quite a bit of rain and/or melting as the ski trail is solid ice.

Skate trails groomed this morning but snow is very wet and heavy, soupy in spots. Not great conditions, double the workout.
