Trail Reports

2015-2016 season
Reports 1 to 10 of 16    Month: Feb | Jan | Dec
Wednesday, February 17, 2016
Afternoon
Firsthand: Freestyle 
[ Bare ground ]
With the last base having melted, the new base isn't deep enough for grooming, and barely deep enough to skate on. I often would catch grass underneath, with it being so thin. I'm guessing this is the last skiing we'll see here for this season.

Afternoon
Firsthand: Freestyle 
[ B skis ]
Conditions: Fair. 3 inches of fluff in most areas. Little debris but some higher grass pokes through.
There are no groomed trails currently but the fairways are skiable for those who want a nearby pre-birkie workout.

Skate has been groomed. Many spots down to ice. Fairways ok.

Afternoon
Firsthand: Freestyle 
[ B skis ]
Conditions: Fair to poor. Many areas icy with a few bare spots.
There are some nice groomed stretches west of the creek. Try to avoid the north east portion of golf course where ash tree removal is taking place. Needs more snow.

Afternoon
Firsthand: Freestyle 
[ Bare ground ]
Conditions: Mr. Freeze. No grooming for a few days. Stick skis.
It's still skiable. There are some bare spots, but skating down the fairway was fun. Very icy so be careful, but good chance to work on balance and staying upright.

Morning
Firsthand: Freestyle 
[ Bare ground ]
Conditions: Mostly good. Had a great ski at sun up but a few areas are paper thin. I'd probably use rock skis if going out later today.
The milwaukee county parks crew have done a great job re-grooming the course to avoid some icy and bare areas.

Freshly groomed. 1-2" over ice / very solid crust. Very nice skating at noon. Some thin spots with hard below.

Afternoon
Firsthand: Freestyle 
[ Good skis ]
No grooming since the Saturday afternoon snow. About an inch is covering a bullet proof crust on fairways. Pretty good skating.

Wednesday, January 6, 2016
Morning
Firsthand: Freestyle 
[ B skis ]
Conditions: Very good! Park crew has re-groomed and re routed the trail around some icy areas.
Beautiful, fast and firm. Beware of the one nearly bare gully in the southwest corner of the park. Enjoy it while you can!

Evening
Firsthand: Freestyle 
[ Good skis ]
Conditions: Still very good skating conditions late afternoon.
Skate deck is in good shape early eve. Some hard, slick spots around windswept areas, but a world of difference from yesterday. Many thanks to the park crew.
