MECCA picked up two inches of lake effect snow early this morning. Groomers set track and corduroy. Surface is a bit soft.

Wonderfully freshly groomed and tracked trails. The tracks were full depth throughout except for a very few places. The skate lane was wonderful as well. The warm trailhead cabin is nice for changing clothes and just warming up. This place is a favorite of mine because of the beautiful wooded terrain that is perfect for xc skiing and great grooming.

Grooming team was out at night resetting tracks and renovating the skate lane after receiving 4" of new snow throughout Saturday. Very good conditions, best of the season so far.

Trail is a little soft from the recent snow but always a pleasure to ski. Tracks are in very good shape. Skate deck is also good but still has a few thin spots that are easily avoided.

We received five to six inches of lake-effect snow. Groomers were out leveling and combing all 23k of the trail system; cold temperatures set-up the skating platform and tracks nicely. Conditions are good to very good.

With the light snow that MECCA has received, conditions continue to improve. Tracks were set today on Wolf, Moose and Osprey. The skate deck was also groomed and is good to very good with some easily avoidable thin spots. Most of which are on the trail that crosses the flowage.

Wonderful ski! Trails were freshly groomed on the skate lanes. Thank you for the excellent grooming. I skied the marked loop of the Winterfest 30 kilometers / 15 kilometers 1 lap. Not in shape to go around twice. First ski of the season. So glad I drove to Mercer from Wausau. Well worth the travel.
