Two inches Sunday morning changed everything! Fabulous conditions today skiing classic on this new powder. No new grooming since the snowfall made for a nice and smooth velvet. Almost covered all the leaves, and those recently fallen were not really an obstacle today. Very fast conditions. Same for skate. Just enough snow fell to cover the dirt spots.

All trails are currently open. Trail are in good shape. Received less than 1" of snow yesterday but enough to freshen things up. Grooming schedule is down to maintenance grooming on Tuesday's and Friday's until more snow is received.

Classic skied the 20K loop, and while the tracks were well set, the amount of leaves, and similar, in the tracks was really high. This created what I would rate as overall poor conditions. I was using skin skis, and I still spent the vast majority of my time on the deck. People were taking off their skis and walking back to the chalet! It was clear that the base was likely too thin to reset tracks, so fingers crossed for several inches of snow soon!..:)).

Skate deck was firm and very well groomed. Skied the 20 k loop and the Alps segment. The interior areas had been more visited by skiers, yet all areas were firm and even. Did not hit any anything with my ski bases. Some areas needed to be negotiated with dirt showing. With just a few inches of new snow conditions will be excellent. The Alps hadn’t seen much ski traffic at all and were in great shape! Excellent grooming work!

I called the chalet, knowing that the oak leaves had inundated the tracks and conditions weren't great on Tuesday night when I skied. Was told that the groomer was out today from what she's heard from skiers today, the grooming didn't help the leaves much and oak leaves continue to be a problem.

6K classic trail was just awful today. Most of the trail was covered with oak leaves and nearly impossible to ski. Very dangerous hitting leaves on the trail especially when going fast downhill. I wiped out three times from leaves then gave up, took my skis off and walked the rest of the trail. Very disappointed.

6km loop was in very good shape. Tracks were solid with a few dead leaves in spots. Otherwise excellent conditions for cold weather skiing.

Skied everything except alps, R, S. It was all very good except for J. Just a few bad spots there. All avoidable.

I only skied the lighted loop. Firm skate deck and deep tracks. You could not ask for better conditions.

We received a welcome 4"+ of snow in the Wausau area over the past 24 hours! Trails are in good shape as we continue grooming operations. Wednesday was spent rolling the trails, improving our base to about 2-3". As of 8:30am today, the lighted loop, 6k and Y are groomed and tracked. Groomng plans: We will continue throughout the day with the remainder of the system. Friday night, Trails T, Y and parts of K and M will be wiped out and re-tracked for the Snekkivek event Saturday. Those same trails will be returned to the normal grooming pattern Saturday night into Sunday.
