I skied here for the first time. Grooming was good with new snow mixed in. An excellent shelter. Pretty good maps out on the trails. Not the most challenging course but you could tell it seemed to be well cared for.

I skied the red loop, including the out and back, and then the orange loop for a total of 17 kilometers. I would rate overall conditions as good considering what the groomers had to work with. The skate deck was covered with tilled up icy crust that had been groomed back into the skate deck. It felt like I was gliding on a layer of finely crushed ice. Glide was good and control on the steep downhills was surprisingly good. It was easy to control speed on the downhills. Occasionally, I dropped into the classic tracks on the long downhills. The classic tracks were firm and fast.

We skied WinMan for the first time today. There several inches of snow covering up the icy snow so conditions were good and it was snowing when we were there. The trail was scenic. We will visit again. I would recommend it to skiers from central or southern Wisconsin looking for a place to ski this weekend.

All of our trails are opened and groomed (skate deck and tracks). We still have significant snow in the region. The recent ice storm did result in some branches bending down over the trail but as of this morning everything is passable. Conditions are good today but will improve to very good to excellent as conditions firm up more.

Our entire system was groomed Friday night. Skate lanes were groomed and tracks were reset. Due to heavy winds overnight there is likely some wind blown sections of trail. We plan to be grooming the skate lanes again early Sunday morning.

All skate lanes and tracks were groomed early this morning. The team was out Saturday night as well so the deck is very firm and in excellent condition following the 4-5 inches of snowfall we received over the weekend.

Magical day at Winman. Trails are fabulous. The 3" of powder that fell on Saturday was transformed into a perfect velvety skate deck by morning. Thanks, guys!

Skate lanes were power tilled and groomed on Wednesday morning. All skate lanes and tracks were groomed again this afternoon and are setting up very well. Should be a fantastic few days of skiing.

Great snow depth here. One loop had been freshly groomed with fresh tracks set. The other loops had some fresh snow on them, but were not re-groomed. Very good skiing here. Great chalet to warm up in.

Trail conditions are very good. The entire system was groomed on Thursday evening with plans to groom the skate lanes and reset tracks again Saturday evening.
