Flew up to WINTER PARK Minocqua Arrived early to perfectly groomed trails all the way to lake Marie. Plenty of snow-solid base. there are a few spots with some debris but no biggie. Tracks looked perfect. Skied Lake Marie via tornado survivor Yukon C &D express returned via island Hop and Nepco cruise-all were perfect! …

Groomed skating with the Gator. Classic tracks looked really good.
Great coverage, not icy, and on-going grooming into the afternoon. I'm so glad I made the drive up from Madison! Looking at the forecast does not inspire great hope, but you can roundtrip this in a day and get a little more excellent skiing in!

The couple inches of fresh powder was welcome over the crusty base and the fresh groom made everything even better. Trails went …
Yahara Golf Course: Beautiful zippy skiing this morning. A nice surprise after the conditions at Odana the last 2 weeks. Lots of snow, even deep snow in areas due to most of the ridge facing north. Best for adventurous nature loving people who don't mind imperfect tracks. Park on the east side of the lot …
Groomed skating using the Gator.
