All skate lanes were groomed today, with the exception of the Birch Loop. The skate deck is firming up nicely and is in good condition. Classic tracks are in fair to good condition and have improved throughout the last week or so.

Groomers were out today. Skate deck is firm and fast and tracks are fair. Conditions have improved, even with the thin base.

Four to five inches of snow last night with a few flakes still coming down. Groomers were out leveling, packing, renovating, and setting track. Trails have reverted back to early season conditions, low snow base, and not completely level skiing platforms. Trails are soft. Enjoy!

Trail conditions have deteriorated with the snow base transforming into a snowy/icy surface. Conditions rate as poor and rock skis are recommended.

Groomers were out mid-day and again this evening mixing old snow with two inches of new moisture starved lake effect snow. Overall the trail has 95 percent coverage; however, base is thin with some bare spots. No tracks set, skiing is fair.

The roller coaster weather has left MECCA Trails with crusty frozen snow, scattered bare spots and icy sections. Trails are open; however, trail users should use caution because of the ice.

Recent warm temperatures coupled with light rain has deteriorated trail conditions. Trails are very soft, water puddles are forming along with scattered icy spots. Any type of trail use at this time (skiing, snowshoeing or hiking) will cause deep imprints in the trail base resulting in future grooming efforts difficult. Please refrain from using the trails until cold temperatures return.

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.

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.
