Wolverine ski trails are fully tracked and skate lane groomed. Pond loop closed. Deep solid tracks. Soft conditions prevail on the skate deck. Groomers shoveling the low areas the other day did the trick with the new 6" of new snow. Chalet open and warm. Best conditions of the season!

First, kudos to the grooming crew for prepping such nice trails, finally with classic tracks. Really nice. But what a sad state of the affairs when three days after there's finally enough base to set tracks, there's already a thaw... long story short, the base was getting thinner at spots, and skating was sluggish. Kind of takes the fun away, but it's good workout. Anyway, Merry Christmas, and please ask Santa for more snow.

Classic skied Wolverine loop and Cliffs/Cliffhanger at sunset. Classic tracks have been set on ~95% of these loops and were in good shape. Groomers shoveled snow onto thin spots that I had seen yesterday. Still a couple soft spots with yesterday's new snow settling in and occasional spots in the tracks with debris, but the trails were in awesome shape. The most cautious still might want B skis, but I'd have no problem using my best skis out there. Thanks groomers!

Wonderful job by the grooming crew as a lot of new corduroy was being laid out. Skate deck only, no classic tracks yet but these new inches today should help. Careful out there: it's quite soft at places, had my ski tip poke through the corduroy and hit something dirty or icy, and down I went. Better with B skis for that reason. Nice to be on natural snow anyway, it's been hard to find this year.

After 3" of snow fell Saturday, late afternoon, groomers were out Sunday grooming the skate deck. Looking good but thin in spots. Majority of debris has been cleaned up on the trails. Snowshoe trails are in good conditions.

The trail groomers have focused on clearing the trees that have fallen across the trail. Total count, 7. Additionally because of the high winds the whole trail system was littered with stick debris that needed to be picked up. Wash out areas prevail in back of Hospital,. Sulo’s field is hay stubble. Currently we don’t have enough ground cover to set tracks. We are waiting for 3-6 inches of snow to begin grooming again. 2" of snow on fell later on Saturday.

Excellent conditions skiing. Lots of snow, great coverage, perfect grooming. Just perfect for skating and the classic tracks looked good as well. Skied the entire system and thought it was perfect. Thank you groomers for your excellent work!

Groomers had 3" of new snow from yesterday to track and set skate lanes today. Grooming daily to continue packing the base. Groomers plan to be out early tomorrow as there will be a Womens' Ski Lesson starting at 9:30-11:30. There is still room to join the fun. Classic and skating. Certified instructors.

Excellent coverage at Wolverine. Goods skis are definitely ok. Full coverage, though a little thin/windblown around the pond on the Powderhorn loop. Very soft, but the groomers were making another pass as I was out skiing. Hopefully will firm up with some more grooming days.

Let's ski and snowshoe! Groomers were out rolling, packing and tracking the ski trails today! Over 16" of snow fell Sunday into Monday. Groomers will be keeping watch over snow conditions and will keep grooming to set a good base.
