Great spring skiing this morning. Maple, Oak, Balsam, Spruce, River, Aspen and the Entry and Return trails were all groomed and tracked yesterday. The track varied in depth and quality and the skate deck was firm but had some occasional equipment tracks and scattered snow clumps. By 11:00 the sun had already softened up the deck considerably.

I groomed the fat bike trail this evening but I also saw that Maple, Oak, Spruce, Balsam, River Aspen and the Entry and Return trails were groomed and tracked.

Still not groomed but skiing still fun. We used tracks other skiers have made.

Not groomed. Bummer! Saw where someone had gone out making their own trail with both skate and classic skis. Not for us.

The skate deck firmed-up nicely after last night's grooming and temperature drop. The track was firm and fast. Get out early!

I made one pass on the skate deck Saturday night on most trails except Red Pine and Nebagamon. I was able to groom out the old ruts but some sections may be a bit crunchy until it softens a bit. Morning will be the best conditions before the temperature rises. The fat bike trail is groomed too and riding well.

Wonderful wonderful. Classic was the way to go. Skate deck looked very soft but classic had a slight glaze on the tracks that made for a fun ski. It had been freshly groomed just before I arrived. School kids were doing their version of the Birkie that morning, great to see so many enthusiastic young skiers out on the trail!

Trails freshly groomed post storm, so it was a bit soft but skiable. Didn't see much debris. Skied maple to oak and back.

We skied After Hours this afternoon. Most of the trail had just been groomed to perfection. The skate deck was slightly soft, wide and even. The classic tracks were soft, but deep and straight. Someone had skied out a few of the corners before we got there. There is debris in quite a bit of the tracks after a certain point and some on the skate deck, but it wasn't horrible. The classic only trails had not been groomed but the snowshoe trails had been.

Groomed well, track set. Pretty fast, got there just before the temp hit 30. But much debris on most trails. To be safe, use back up skis.
