A day after a fresh grooming, Joanie and I skied the Red and Yellow loops and trails were still in excellent condition. Tracks were firm and fun at this double-tracked gem. Thanks for the great grooming!

A fresh dusting of snow and great base. All loops leveled and tracked. The trail is in excellent condition.

A few inches of new snow. All loops leveled and tracked. Fluffy snow made soft tracks, but should set up nicely. Excellent conditions.

My first time on the trail this season. I skied the entire red loop and blue loop starting from the parking lot for each loop for a total of 16 kilometers. The track was firm and deep although speed in the track was medium at best. Overall conditions I would rate as very good to excellent. With the slow snow conditions, control on the steep downhills was a breeze. That's not always the case on this trail. I have seen them blazing fast but not today. It was a fantastic afternoon ski.

Wow! Had been many years. Skied blue and green and eastern red segments, Freshly groomed with double tracks. Doesn't get much better. Thank you, DNR groomer.

Several inches of new snow. All loops rolled and tracked. Excellent track depth on all loops. Best conditions of the season.

I have had the privilege of skiing here for forty years, and today was exceptional. Groomed this morning, with the new, bigger machine, all the trails were (just barely) perfect. With it's 6-5-4-3km concentric circle design, this course has always appealed to me, as someone who values distance over speed. And at less than a mile from the Lakeland Metro area, the words "immediate gratification" come to mind. Edges of tracks were crisp and cold, the new machine is wide enough to put a small "skate deck" on one side, and, ironically, the recent logging has opened up a tremendous view of Carroll Lake! Well worth an afternoon.

All loops were leveled and tracked. Great conditions on every loop. Just enough new snow to set the best tracks of the season.

Groomed and tracked and an inch of new snow overnight helped. Groomers have done a good job with still minimum amount of snow, thank you.

First tracks set of the season. All loops are tracked and conditions are good. Track depth may vary. First time pulling the groomer with the new Honda UTV.
