Morning
Firsthand: Classic

Trails were fast and fantastic yesterday. I went out again this morning with the little bit of fresh snow we had. I opted for first tracks vs. groomed tracks. They were a little slow and labor intensive on the fresh tracks, but they were being broken in by myself and other skiers as I continued, and it improved a lot.

Skied both Saturday and Sunday, trails were groomed and in great shape. Some areas in the open apparently got some mist/rain Friday that froze so you can go from fast to faster in a heartbeat. Some debris in the woods but generally avoidable. Great to see ski club out in force today, next generation Olympians!

Grooming 
[ Trails Open: All, B skis ]
All the trails were groomed and tracked today. Nice deep tracks and smooth skate deck. A few dirty spots on the red loop. You could use good skis.

Skied the full loop Thursday afternoon. It was a little icy in spots, but honestly not too bad. Leaf litter was a little more of an issue, but that would only be for very short sections, like going into the falls area from the silver trail. Somebody should tell those oak trees that they're supposed to drop their leaves in the fall like the rest of their friends. Ran into a group of 25 students from UWRF who were there skiing as part of their Outdoor Adventures class. That made me happy, and they all looked like they were having a blast. Godspeed groomers, and we appreciate your magical wizardry!

Skied the green and yellow trails, classic tracks were a bit icy and there was some leaf litter plus a bit of drifting out in the open, but still decent conditions considering the lack of fresh snow and the warm temperatures the last two days.

Maybe not the best skiing trail conditions of the year, but still a damn fine day to be out on skis. A lot better skiing than it seems like it ought to be with temps as warm as they've been! Just a little bit thin in some places, and with some trail litter starting to build-up, footprints well under control.

Skied classic for a couple loops before the heat wave and they were a lot better than I expected. A couple sections with some leaf litter, but that's about it.

Beautiful day and great trails! Good coverage, a few small spots of dirt or rock poking through thin snow on the edge in the sun, easily avoidable. Only one section in the woods on silver where the debris was a challenge on the skate deck, otherwise minimal throughout. Nice to be out in the warmer temps with light up until almost 6 pm.

Skied the Purple trail and the loop across the Willow River. Deck very firm and tracks were a bit icy even after the snow this weekend, but not too fast. There were a few thin spots with a bit of dirt starting to show though.

Perfect skiing with the new dusting of snow. Debris here and there but definitely good cover. Tracks looked great.
