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

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

Grooming 
[ Trails Open: All, B skis ]
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.

Only skied the lighted loop. It was freshly groomed. Excellent tracks. The skate deck was a little soft. Everything was excellent!

Skied the lighted loop twice tonight and it was great. Pretty sleek, flat and fast. Basically no edge grabbing and rode the tracks like fast rails at times. Skate deck is good. I would use good skis but some people are pretty cautious so I recommend stick to B skis overall until we get some fresh snow again.

Grooming 
[ Trails Open: All, B skis ]
Trails are in fair condition. We have a base of 1"-2". Trails are a bit hard. Skate lanes are in good shape and the classic tracks are ok. There are areas of dirt in the classic tracks where there simply isn't enough snow. Grooming daily.

Mostly really good. Deep tracks. Avoid “J” if possible. Take “S” if you want to do the 20 K loop. No track on the alps.

Skied all trails except “S”. Most were really good with deep tracks. “ R” had some rough spots with one bare hill. Recommend using the bypass, which is really good.

I stopped at this beautiful trail near Wausau on my way back to Mpls after being in Michigan. 13 degrees. Well groom and marked trails. I’d like to visit again and try all 30 km of trail. Skied 11km. Beautiful Jack pine groves.
