Firsthand: Classic

Trails in great shape ahead of Badger Games. Five inches of dense snow on Monday setting up very well over icy base. Grooming has been excellent. Classic tracks consistent and skate deck firm. Should hold up well in spite of warm temps on Friday.

Wow! Classic skied under the lights - trails were silky smooth and fast. The fresh snow was groomed perfectly. If you haven't tried skiing at night before, this is the place to do it. Trails are well-lit, with gentle rolling terrain and are fun to ski.

Skate deck was a little slow and soft this morning, still great conditions. Classic tracks set on most of the trails. Overall good but still need to get ski'd in and set up.

Heavy wet snow dumping while we were out. Both skate and classic were predictably slow.
Grooming plans: Grooming early morning, with the firm base in place, tomorrow should be perfect.

Nine Mile skiing was good today. More tracks set and the skate deck firmed up nicely. The new back woods single track is also open.

Afternoon
Firsthand: Freestyle 
[ Trails Open: Partial, B skis ]
Skied most of the 20K loop. Only parts of the 10K loop were groomed, the rest was rolled only and was very uneven. The snow had not firmed up so skating was pretty difficult as the snow would give when you push off. The classic tracks were fast and sweet and covered pretty well overall. I am sure it is better today but I can't get out. Great to have the trails open!

Grooming 
[ Trails Open: Most, B skis ]
Nine Mile will be open beginning Tuesday at 9:00 a.m. Trails have been packed and tracks have been set on the lighted loop. Skate lanes open for much of the course. Some debris (mostly pine needles) are in the tracks so proceed with caution.
