Parking lot full. Heavy usage made for a firm snow packed trail but still had good edging for skating. Fast but still had good control on down hills. Good base coverage from recent 8" snow and no problem with debris. Tracks looked as there were many striders. Hope they groom tomorrow which could make it perfect.

Great conditions at Greenbush today. I skied the red, purple and brown trails. Nicely packed with the snow soft enough to get an edge. Just a couple of low areas were a little ice is showing. Lots of people enjoying great conditions for skiing, fat biking, sledding, and snowshoeing. A light snow was falling to add the perfect touch.

Joanie and I skied 10 miles of trails early this morning. Trails were in very good condition for classic with just a little debris and a few very minor icy spots. Skate lanes also looked good-just a little soft on the uphills. Well worth the drive from Madison.

Perfect. That's the word that I heard all day long, as I skied with old friends and found new ones in the Northern Kettle. Solid tracks throughout. Soft snow to help bank the corners. Truly some of the best conditions I've found in more than a decade of skiing. And for a classic guy like me, that black loop was about as much fun as I should be allowed to have.

Snow chaser from Chicago area - made the trek based on snow reports. Brown, dull landscape all the way, and then - Boom! - all transformed to glistening white about 15 miles north of Milwaukee. Great conditions at Greenbush - skate deck a little soft and loose, but classic track hard-packed and consistent throughout. Snow-covered trees, deep (12") snow on backwoods (black) trail - a winter-land oasis. Parking lot was overflowing at 11 a.m. Thanks to the grooming team for turning last week's hefty, wet snow into a weekend ski bonanza.

Just left Greenbush...awesome conditions! The snow is soft but smooth, the skate deck is in great shape, we had great glide, and tracks are decent but missing in some spots, which is amazing given the heavy traffic today. The groomers were out again tonight resetting the trail. There are some sticks here and there, but today was an A+ day out there and we skied late afternoon and on the lighted loop. The only rough spot was the start as it was glazed over...get out there and ski..!!

Jeff was out grooming the trails as I left the upper parking lot about 6pm. The cold weather tonight could produce epic conditions tomorrow. Please consider donating to the ski club who maintains all the trails. A donation box is in front of the shelter and a recommended donation of $5 per person/$20 per carload donation would be very much appreciated. Thank you and enjoy the great grooming. The woods are beautiful with lots of snow.

Expect a very full parking lot this weekend. Very good conditions, much more snow at Greenbush than many places south of there.

Greenbush received 10 inches of very wet, heavy snow on Wednesday, this on top of wet and partially thawed ground. Temps in the 30's on Thursday did not allow grooming yet. Groomers expect to groom Friday night and anticipate track setting and soft skating on Saturday.
