Terrific trail conditions for both techniques today while battling a strong wind in 17 degrees under a cloudy sky. Super fun to be skiing while the UWGB Nordic team worked out. Mount Becker, the northern most climb, is great fun on both the up and down. Carpe Skiem!

Well groomed trail of 3.5 km which was flat, wide and fast. Diagonal tracks showed slight wear and tear, but were still very good. A fun day to be at this venue.

As is the norm, a very nice ski at Ariens. How fortunate to have something like this during this dismal winter. No new trails added since I skied here one week ago.

The UWGB Nordic Ski Team was out in full force this morning as the Piston Bully was grooming in the about 1" of snow that had fallen overnight. Though conditions were slower than normal, skiing was enjoyable for both techniques. If you want a workout, you can count on The ANC. Carpe Skiem!

Approximately 1/2 inch of newly fallen natural snow on top of a 3.5 km very well groomed skate deck. Snow is clean. Diagonal tracks were present and substantial. The newly fallen snow decreases the glide. Still worthwhile visit.

Frigid conditions this morning at The ANC. 5 degree and super windy, at least it was sunny! Classic would have been the better choice. The 3.5K groomed loop sits atop a rock solid 2' to 5' base. This base offers solid pole plants, level skiing and is cold enough to last, insuring that if you make the wise decision to check it out, you won't be disappointed. Carpe Skiem!

Approximately 3.5 km of well groomed trail, which includes some newly opened northern section. The skate deck is clean, well compacted, wide, and level. Adjacent diagonal tracks were also substantial. Very good conditions today.

Excellent conditions, perfect corduroy, fast and fun. Well worth the drive. Classic tracks excellent, skate line wide and perfect.

Fabulous conditions. World class grooming. Lots of skiers but far from crowded. Classic tracks were deep and firm.

Mother nature dropped about 1/3" of snow on top of a freshly groomed 3.4K trail early this morning making for excellent ski conditions. The latest loop, aka Mount Becker, is a sight to behold offering significant additional elevation and banked curves on the down hill for skaters. Super fun. Carpe Skiem!
