All trails were groomed today including the classic trail and fat bike trail. The 2" of fresh snow helped a lot but there are still thin spots. Track was set on 80% of the classic trail and select places on the other trails. Expected a thin base in places and some debris. Be prepared to jump out of the track occasionally.

I skated 25k in a fresh 1/2" of snow. Unfortunately Brule didn't get the snow that was predicted. Most of the trail has a 1-3" solid base but the grass is still poking through under the pine trees. The gates are still up to prevent vehicles from entering the trails but the gates are easy to ski under/around. Maple, Oak, Aspen, River, Spruce and Balsam were groomed last Sunday. Expect a firm but wavy deck, thin spots and an occasional rock poking through. No tracks yet.

When I skied them Saturday morning, I went maple to oak to white pine and red pine and river and out and about everywhere. No issues gliding along with my rock skis. A bit of powder on top of the rolled. Debris out but it was wonderful. Thanks for the early rolling!

Skied both Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday morning. Would have suggested B skis yesterday, but with the 2-3 inches of fresh powder the trails have good coverage. Skied Maple, Balsam, Spruce, River and Aspen. Deck is wavy and uneven but not bad for mid December! Thank you groomers for clearing the trails and getting them rolled.

The 2" of fresh snow complimented the rolling and clean up we did on Tuesday. JT and I skated 14K and picked up most of the new sticks. Don't ski on South or East loop since vehicles are still driving on these township roads and have exposed some gravel. No tracks yet, expect a soft and wavy deck in places with some thin spots. Not too bad for December 5th.

All trails were rolled and cleared today except the classic only trail. Gary Mattson and I removed all downed trees and picked up most of the sticks and branches. The base is thin so expect some rocks and grass poking through if you venture out.
