Trail Condition

Odana Golf Course

Classic tracks were poor on most of the loop. Groomed over, wind blown and just plain bad. Few areas of grass or dirt, but generally decent coverage. Skate deck looked better in general.

Elver Park

Trails on the east side were in very good shape considering the snow cover. Fairly firm and fast. Didn't make it over to the west side. Tracks for classic skiing looked really good as well.

-5 degree temperature prompted a day of striding. Tracks were 98% solid with the occasional dirty spot. One could of course hop out on the skating deck, which was excellent, when required. Kick was as expected perfect. Best natural snow diagonal skiing of the season in southern Wisconsin. Hats off to groomers, fantastic effort. Thanks

Did not refresh tracks, groomed all skate deck east & west trails

Fair to good conditions. Groomed the man-made snow loops for skating. Groomed most of the golf course and added classic tracks.

McCarthy Park

Quite good snow coverage- overall grading good/fair. The kids/front loop was practically pristine- could do A skis if you just stayed there, for example if you wanted to do some quick tuneups before a race this weekend. Everywhere else B skis was a good idea, some dirt/thin spots here and there.

Most trails were touched up at 3 this afternoon. Skate deck has firmed up quite a bit. Some excellent stretches, some with drifted snow, and other places with bare spots. Classic tracks in most places, but at least a few bare spots in those as well. Overall enjoyable skiing though!

Blue Mound SP

Classic tracks were in good shape without many sticks or ground poking through. Be careful out there though! There are some uneven downhills that should be skied cautiously and a big patch of ice right after a blind downhill corner. That first patch of ice could really use a warning sign so people can slow …

Trail really firmed up and leveled out. New snow filled in nicely making cart path and gravel cautions largely a thing of the past. Cold dry friction makes glide hard to come but, but overall best natural snow skating of the season in our area. Nice job grooming crew.

Lots of drifting. Groomed skating and added some new classic tracks. Some areas are pretty light on snow but overall should be good to excellent.
