Very slow conditions for skate. Soft, wet surface layer over a softening base. Some debris, especially in the woods. Tracks are old, but well skied in. Plenty of snow on the manmade loops.

Still good skiing on the manmade loop. Expect it to soften as the day goes on. It's faster first thing in the morning. Did a green loop too, it's skiable but soft. A few more spots where dirt is showing.

Skied from dusk for two hours, tracks still in good shape even on the natural snow, off track gets sluggish. Dare I say it was fast? Regardless, if not rocket fast, faster than my expectations, even on the natural snow (lighted section not including Two Tier which now has dirt).

I started skiing around 11:45 am and went for about three hours. Manmade loop was very good even though it was a bit soft. I skied the entire lit loop and it was mostly decent, but poles were breaking through which made the flow inefficient. Two tier had a few rough patches, but nice to get the elevation in! Downhill was really good until the bottom. I would not recommend two tier for novice skiers. I gave gut buster a try and it was very soft, but snow covered. Big slide was rather challenging.

Skate deck on the man-made loop was in considerably good shape this morning. I used my good skis, but you just have to skate around a few thin areas. Tracks looked like they're getting pretty worn. The park was buzzing.

Stopped by to check the trails this morning. Manmade loops trailhead has many skiers who looked happy. Not groomed for a couple of days. Slushy surface.

Skied the man-made loops and it was in great condition. A little crust formed overnight that brought the speed back. As of 11am it was softening but still an enjoyable experience. More debris is collecting in a few spots. No grooming is planned until Sunday night but right now it doesn't need it.

Classic skied the green Meadow loop a few times this afternoon. Tracks were in surprisingly good shape but later in the afternoon, kept getting softer and a bit slick in some thin spots. Minor debris such as small sticks, leaves, and pine needles are on parts of the trail but did not impact skiing today.

Well here comes the warm mother nature again, our trails are taking a beating again for about the fourth time this winter. The trails off the man made are becoming pretty thin. The man-made has full depth and full width. There will be no grooming by the DNR or with the Pisten Bully until we get temperatures below 32°. Please be patient with us groomers as we are not controlling the weather. I normally say happy skiing, but now I'm saying good luck out there!

Good conditions for skate and stride on the manmade snow loops this morning. Soft and slushy surface on a generally firm base. A fair amount of tree debris in the wooded areas - flick a stick if you get a chance. Downhills are not real fast but also not sticky. Manmade loops were last groomed on Wednesday, so tracks are getting pretty soft.
