Secondhand 
[ Trails Open: All, B skis ]
Blue skies with temps in the 20s, great day of skiing! Coverage very good, some thin spots but easily avoidable. Skate lanes pretty level and firm, just enough of loose snow for your kick. Tracks firm, no icing.

Skied the Wolf loop, Moose loop, Spruce Hills, and Osprey Loop. The track is still holding up on Moose, Wolf, and Osprey loops. Some track is also on Spruce hills. Thanks to the groomers and the great job they do. A hidden Northwoods gem.

Grooming Secondhand

Trails are 95% snow covered with some thin areas. Skate lanes are combed, mostly level; tracks are set with some thin area. Definitely early season conditions but very skiable and fast. Skiers today reported conditions were fair to good.

MECCA got 2-3" of snow on Thursday and grooming teams were out on Friday morning and afternoon. Tracks were set on 75% of the trails, with a shallow base there's some debris in the tracks. The entire skate lane was combed, is clean, and a little soft.

Nice base and all rolled. No track set yet but great skiing on a great course. Skied half of the Mecca 30 K trail. Just a couple of spots that could use a bit more snow.

Afternoon
Grooming 
[ Trails Open: All, B skis ]
Groomers were out yesterday and today leveling and combing the 21 K trail system. Early season conditions are rated at fair plus. The skiing surface is firm, has well formed corduroy with 95% coverage. At this time tracks have not been set because of the lack of snow depth. The Homestead Wetland has not completely froze resulting in some soft spots but is skiable. Groomers will attempt to groom this section early next week. Overall, the trail is very skiable, skiers will be surprised at the conditions. Snowshoe trails are open.
