Sean is a miracle worker. The trails were great with no mush! 2.5 Km loop was fast and fun. Thank you Sean Becker and ANC.

The skate deck was 2.4 km, well groomed and fast. Adjacent classic tracks appeared robust.

The 2.4 K manmade loop was holding up well thru 11 am offering both striders and skaters a nice ski. As the morning wore on kickers had the advantage enjoying Ariens' signature full depth tracks courtesy of the piece of equipment shown in the picture! Be sure to check for ski hours over the next week. Let's hope this big red machine has some snow to push around soon. Carpe Skiem!

The 2.4km skate deck was groomed very well, and there were adjacent robust classic tracks. The skate deck was wide, level, and well compacted. Kudos to the groomers and the ever pleasant front desk person, Horst.

Skaters and striders who braved the early morning fog enjoyed very good conditions until around 10 am. After that it became more of a "workout". Be sure to check before coming out for possible modified hours. Carpe Skiem!

We launched from the ANC trailhead at 8:30 am and quickly encountered fast and furious conditions which, for the most part, were fun to ski! The freshly groomed tracks and skate deck had a slight glaze due strong north wind in 32 degree. Great tracks. Be sure to check for potential closing due to the expected warmup. Carpe Skiem!

The ANC hosted a bus load of Zephyrs from St. Mary's in Menasha today in 36 degree temps under a gray sky. For most of these well-mannered 8th graders it was their first time on skinny skis, let alone seeing a Piston Bully in action. They quickly learned they were over dressed! The tracks were the better choice today given the temps. Worth the drive. Carpe Skiem!

The 1.6k loop is open, groomed, and track set. It was a cold and windy morning. Strong winds filled in the tracks in several spots. The skate deck seems firm. Grooming is excellent as always, but the windy conditions made for a cold and challenging classic session.

Conditions were optimal first thing in morning. Firm deck on 1.6 Km trail. Not much traffic, therefore grooming held up well. Adjacent diagonal tracks looked good. Worth the drive from Green Bay.

The FAB 4 Today: fast, firm, fun and fabulous! Skied in 31F degree temps, a light wind and a cloudy sky. Excellent conditions for both skaters and striders. Carpe Skiem!
