Come out for late season skiing! Conditions have deteriorated on most of the trails in the woods, mostly due to skier use kicking up leaves. I would no longer recommend loops C, D, F, and H. However, Loops A and B are still very good, and you can use your good skis. You can still get a very pleasant workout out and back on A with return on B for as many passes as you want.

Often skiing is essentially done by February 16 here in central Wisconsin. However in 2025, skiing is the best it has been in the last 2 seasons! That said, conditions are variable. The A loop is excellent with deep tracks (except a few spots where the night groomer veered off the packed surface), and solid skating deck. Tracks on C, D, and E are shallow to average. F is not machine tracked. This trail is well known for oak leaves, and C and D maintain that tradition. Overall, problems with leaves and sticks is less than usual, but there are a few scuff dirt areas on D that required stepping out of the track. B is very good, but we did not venture up on the bluff trail.

Another 3" fell overnight. The thin base and warm temps today left the skate deck soft. Classic track is only set on A trail. Conditions range between B skis and rock skis. The ridge was compacted today, but would still advise against it.

12 km trails groomed for first time. No tracks set. Some areas have exposed leaves and gravel. Plenty of good surfaces to ski.
