Great Thanksgiving Day 10 K at Bearskin Lodge! Fourth time out - all have been excellent or very good! Skate deck very good a few pine needles, etc, here and there, not enough to slow you down at all. The snow was fast! We jumped in the classic track a little, the track was very good and fast. Another beautiful afternoon among magnificent tall pines! We have much to be thankful for here!

Classic skied the Summer Home Road and Campground Loop (8 km) from Bearskin Lodge. Classic tracks are firm and the light dusting of snow last night made for great kick and glide. Skaters had a firm flat surface and skiers said the conditions were great. There is no snow in the forecast and the temps are forecast to remain well below freezing which means these conditions could be pretty consistent for the near future.

Conditions = very very good! 1/2" Of new light snow on top of a very good base. From Bearskin lodge skied summer home road and campground loops. Great snow everywhere we skied! For November 11th the skiing was great! The open trails were nicely groomed for both skate and classic. The classic track was very good too!

Great first ski of the year in the beautiful north woods. 10 K of groomed trail. Full coverage with no exposed or ice spots, but some blown debris. The skiing was relatively fast with slow sections of blown snow. I realized about 1 k in that I need to do more arm work before the ski season starts. 10 hrs of driving for 2 hrs of skiing and totally worth it. I can't wait for more!

Summer home and campground are groomed. The skate lane is 95% good, the track is probably 80%. Hard to complain on Nov.5th. Trails were fast yesterday.
