Still using the good skis. Fast, fun skating at Wolverine. Great conditions, although I was surprised (given the still substantial base) to see an easily avoidable rock on the Wolverine loop between the hospital and the Walmart overlook. Novice loop was in rougher shape than the rest.

Wolverine was Pisten Bully groomed this morning, all trails except Cliff Hanger and the Pond Loop. Track sets looked good. Tuesday night ski conditions at Wolverine are looking good! Come and enjoy. The temp has been in the 20's and low 30's.

Skate lanes were groomed late Saturday night. We had freezing temperatures overnight so this morning should be great skiing. This is late winter skiing at its best.

The classic trails were fast this afternoon on the Novice trail. No sticky snow. Skate lane looked good, no real deep cuts. Wore just a long sleeve shirt and vest. Sunny skies!

All trails groomed and tracked today! That was a lot of snow!! 20" and drifts. Great time to play outside. Warm chalet. Thank you groomers!

OMG - this is why we make the drive! Lots of fresh snow + great grooming = perfection. Packed powder, crisp, clean tracks, and sparkling sun with moderate temps. Very light usage. You just can't ask for more.

All trails and tracks groomed with the PistenBully. Excellent conditions after the snow dump 2 days ago. Looking beautiful!

Wolverine received about 10-12" last night with blizzard winds. All trails have been regroomed, expect soft conditions. Sunny afternoon skies. Thanks groomers!

Skiing in a snow storm is interesting, since the conditions change every few minutes. Started out around 11, with above freezing temps. The tracks were ok - some crusty parts, some soft from the thaw/freeze cycle. The only real problem area was the pond loop - the wind and sun had scoured the dam to bare ground with a narrow strip of ice to pick across. After that, the snow started to come down heavily. The tracks got coated with fresh, somewhat sticky snow. By the time I got to Stairway to Heaven, I was running into more stickiness. That eventually worked itself out by the end of the trail. The high winds also have been knocking some branches into the trail, so take care. It's still coming down.
