I stayed off the groomed trail and sort of flailed around and beat down a very mediocre track. Super soft. For the sake of the trail, stay off if it gets really warm as whatever you do will leave ruts. May be for nothing ...

Fast! No grooming today but it was super fast. Unique conditions with a little freezing stuff on top made for a nice change of pace. Definitely had control but amazing glide.

I skied the classic tracks on the north side of the park in the late afternoon. It appears that these tracks are made by previous skiers, not grooming equipment (same as last weekend). The tracks are not very deep, straight or well-formed in many places and there is a lot of tree debris in some locations. Also, there are the usual boot tracks in other places. All that said, it was a pretty ski outing, a good workout and I was glad to be able to ski in the park. In a quick check for classic tracks on the south side of the park (there are usually not), I did not see any.

Very good conditions Wind has come around and now out of southwest. Warming coming, get it while it is great.

It doesn't get better than this. Dress warm, wind can be biting and if you wax your own, definitely go with the coldest wax..a little sticky for me with my old wax still on.

I got second tracks. Groomer made at least two passes and it is perfection. The analogy in my head while skiing is that if the Packers play as well as Brown Deer skied they will beat SF 110 - 3.

Groomer went around today and went over new snow. Good conditions! It was also groomed Thursday.

Skied the north loop this morning. It is skiable, I got exercise and am happy. Expect footprints from people walking their dogs in the track. There are a few icy areas - mainly in the woods. There is a little bit of debris in tracks. Yes, trail could use a grooming; but it's skiable. Thank you Milwaukee Parks for making these trails happen on your tight budget!

Excellent conditions for skating on the golf course. Firm with good coverage and just a small amount of debris. Thank you Milwaukee county parks staff for braving the cold to groom today!

I got a message from the Parks staff that the groomer did go around this afternoon. Happy skiing!
