Very great ski morning. The inch of powder covered the base perfectly keeping the trail fast but plenty safe on the downhills. The groomer as of noon had not touched the trail after last night's snowfall, but that was probably done strategically as to not lose that top layer, plus really it's not needed right now. Get out and ski! It's great! Still small debris on the trail especially on the connector, so I would recommend no better than B skis and you'll note I put rock ski suggested in this report. No real classic track set to note.

The trail came through the recent rains with a solid, 3" base that is relatively flat and free of bare spots. The skate deck has been cleared of most of the woody debris. There is 1/2 inch of new snow on recent corduroy. Small sticks and isolated leaves remain but the trail is reported to be quite skiable. Expect little track, if any, until more snowfall arrives. The Dog-Island Loop and trailhead is closed until further notice, but there is still more than 20K of trail through some of the State's best scenery to enjoy!

Very icy and huge amounts of debris on the trails from the wind and ice storm Sunday and Monday. Large branches and even entire trees in a few areas have gone completely across the trail. These are beautiful trails, but more snow, some tilling of the base, and a lot of debris removal will improve conditions significantly.

Strided all trails, nice track set for about50% of trails but was good kick and glide. Looks like groomer track broke and needs replacement. Oak leaves, debris and stuff in tracks but avoidable. Finished just as snow came. This is one of the best trails to ski in wisconsin, a gem.

Skied as sun was setting. Trails had just been rolled again and groomer was going out to comb out as I finished striding. No tracks at that point but was soft and good to stride. Appears to be very little usage. Good snow depth. Thank you Groomers for all the work you do!

Strided all the trails that were open. Some are closed for logging. Hickory will be a lot sunnier this summer :) Trails were rolled and then another 3 inches of snow on top of that. Not a firm deck. No tracks set. The 8 inches of snow make pretty good coverage but it is soft. A few oak leaves on trail. Good cold and beautiful ski.

Today at about 1 pm the trail was starting to be rolled. I believe the plan for tomorrow is to groom the rolled trail, but at least with the rollers through it is skiable. Lots of snow today obviously so good trail coverage, but I still do suggest rock skis even as it turns up this week because there are buried debris right below the trail surface; lots of bigger sticks in area where the logging took place and even throughout the trail. The snow we needed though! The singletrack trail for fat biking was also being rolled and then groomed today! Happy trails all. Go Pack!
