As the conditions allowed, all the trails except Black have been renovated this afternoon and early evening in anticipation of additional snowfall. We will post updates after the next grooming operations.

Classic skiers beware: the people who have spent their late nights destroying the trails were at it again. The tracks are mostly gone. The wheel left ruts and wells that make the hills tricky mixed with very wet compact snow. Skaters have a deck but its welled from the vehicle(s). Be careful, its still a beautiful day.

Six inches of heavy, wet snow was plastered on the icy base of the Greenbush Trails overnight. I went out late afternoon and the system has been rolled, groomed and tracks set. I classic skied the Purple Loop and there was track set on all but the first section of pines. Skate deck looked soft and sticky, but should set up with colder temps. I guessed right with Swix VR70 corked in on a good pair of skis and had excellent kick. Post-Birkie kicking and gliding through the Kettle Moraine, with cranes squawking and geese honking always puts a smile on one's face.

Greenbush was blessed with close to 10" of heavy snow. Our grooming team spent countless hours packing, grooming and setting track. All trails are open, and may be a little soft today, but should firm up nicely overnight. Come on out and enjoy this winter wonderland! And please donate to our grooming operations if you can. Thank you!

We received 1" of dry snow overnight which helped reduce but not eliminate the grey ice/slushy areas. We packed and tracked the brown, red, pink and portions of the green loop up to the second cutoff to purple this morning. The pines on the green have substantial debris down, but with the new snow should be passable without too much trouble. The base was softening up quickly with the sun and the fact that there is a lot of free moisture low in the base and in some areas of the set track. I suggest using extreme caution on all trails as the temperature drops this evening and trails refreeze.

A ski in March, in southern Wisconsin is always a treat. The temperature was below freezing when I started. There were a lot more icy areas since my last ski on Thursday. The groomer scraped things up a bit this morning, which helped. Parts of purple, green, red, and all of brown had been groomed. If you go when it's below freezing be very careful on downhills. I side stepped a few.

The trails are frozen stiff and very icy this morning. Bare spots showing with heavy debris over 1/2 the trail system. I was not able to break up the frozen base.

Skiing was decent today. There's still track left in some areas. The plan is to groom the trails early Saturday and Sunday mornings.

I skied part of the brown, purple, and green trails today. Overall it was pretty darn good. Some of the trails had been freshly groomed today. The groomers have done a magnificent job of clearing lots of sticks on the freshly groomed area. The trail sections that have not been groomed lately are loaded with sticks. I spent a good portion of my "ski" removing branches from the trail. There is a decent amount of snow out there. I encountered a little ice but no standing water. At the power line there is exposed dirt. The snow was corn snow in sunny areas and a thin crust in the shaded areas that had not been groomed. Help out the groomers and stop to clear the trail of branches.

As predicted, Mother Nature was not kind to us today. Given the all day rain and gusty winds, our trails are saturated and loaded with debris. With Tuesday's and Wednesday's temperatures forecast to be near 40F, the earliest we will be able to get on the trails to clear debris is hopefully Thursday. Please refrain from using the trails until colder temperatures prevail to help preserve what snow we have left to work with. We will be monitoring conditions and keep you informed of developments.
