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.

Grooming 
[ Trails Open: All, Good skis ]
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.

Grooming 
[ Trails Open: All, B skis ]
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.

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.

Grooming 
[ Trails Open: All, Rock skis ]
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.
