Ski trails are mostly very good. Arrived at 8 am and was glad to see the groomers had been out. Fresh corduroy. Skied most of the trail system and found the 6 kilometers trail segment and marsh meadow were groomed today, but that was as far as the fresh grooming extended and found it to be excellent. The rest of the trails had good firm base, a bit icy and heavy traffic from Badger State Games from the weekend. Still very good skiing.

Skied the 10k loop and the 6k loop the conditions were perfect post Badger State Games. The skate deck was firm and with it freshly groomed control and glide were the best I've skied this year.

Skied all of the trails. The tracks are excellent. There were a few spots where the groomer kicked up some gravel. However, most of the skate lanes were really good.

Skated the 43k Badger State Games race. Tracks were perfect for striders and freshly groomed. Perfect conditions and surprisingly warm temps 15f to 20F.

Trails are in great shape. Still some areas of low snow. Base of about 3-4". Finishing grooming today and will not be grooming until Friday. Chalet and all trails close Friday at 12 pm for Badger State Games preparation. Chalet and trails will again open to the public on Saturday at 3 pm. CWOCC Winter Tri will take place on Sunday. Chalet and trails will be open to the public during the Winter Tri.

Awesome ski this morning, kudos to the groomer for great grooming. Skate lane has a firm base and with the four or so inches of fluff groomed in on top, gave it a soft feel. Glide wasn't great due to cold dry snow but, wow, was it nice not seeing any leaves.

Some of the most enjoyable classic skiing I have done in a while. The couple of inches that fell last night really made a difference. Sunny day, great snow, perfectly groomed trails. A great first time experience in Wausau that makes me want to come back soon.

Beautiful day, sunny, not too cold though little windy out of the woods. The 20 K loop classic tracks were very good as the 1-2 inches of overnight snow helped cover the oak leaves although there were still occasional stretches with debris. Overall I rate the skiing very good/excellent. Skating likewise.

Skied my virtual Noque here. -4 at the start. Snow was very slow, but was corduroy the entire way. There was a little debris and a few brown spots, but overall, very good (especially as someone who normally skis at Lapham). The Alps section was a lot of fun!

Variable conditions at Nine Mile today at times the trails looked super, wide even corduroy with great tracks, then you would see tracks filled with oak leaves and debris with dirt spots on the skate deck. Frustrating to say the least. To be safe I would use B skis and hope for the best.
