Green Meadow trail is now open, for a total of 2.5k of snowmaking ski trails. Green Meadow section does not have lights, so bring a headlamp to ski it at night! Lower Stadium up to Coach's Corner do have lights. Snowmaking ski trails are groomed nightly for classic and skate, and are open 6am-10pm.

Skate deck on the lower stadium loop was reasonably firm, but the climb up Jim's hill was very soft and slushy. Still great to be out skiing in 45 degree weather!

I started around 7 am, and the temp was just below freezing so the conditions were pretty good. Perfectly firm on the flats and loosening but okay on the climbs. The classic tracks looked superb and I saw a few kicking around through them. Conditions were better than I thought they'd be. Enjoy those cool mornings!

The snow was great at 6am this morning, but by 8am the uphills were already starting to break down into sugar on ice. Sounds like a good dessert, but not awesome for skiing. The flats were still good, and the tracks looked pristine. Cold weather and snow would be appreciated!

Classic tracks solid and firm. Some ice and some snow sugar in tracks. Klister worked well. Multiple snow cannons blasting away making snow.

1.5k loop was very sugary when I was out there with probably 1-2 inches of powder on most portions of the loop. Overall, surprisingly pleasant given the freeze/thaw cycles that we've been seeing. Everyone seemed to be having fun. Pray for snow!

Great conditions this morning at Wirth. Same 1.7k loop. Classic tracks were firm albeit a bit shallow in areas but no concerns. Skate deck looked great.

Tracks were in pretty rough shape and the snow was pretty soft at 11:30 am, but it was still fairly fast. Colder temps should help.

Surprisingly lovely this morning. Enjoyed the sunrise! 1.5 km of blown snow... quite fast, which surprised me.
