Thursday February 25, 2010

Potawatomi State Park:

Conditions very good for both striding and skating . Freshly groomed on February 24th. 100% snow coverage.

Crossroads at Big Creek:

Only a dusting of new snow this past week. Trails were groomed and tracked a week ago but have held up well even with a lot of use due to the cold nights. A few more bare spots have appeared but the skiing continues to be very good. Groomer heading for sunny Florida on Sunday but will groom trails this weekend if needed.

Cherry Hills Nordic Center:

With two inches of new snow, trails are soft and slow. It looks to be a windy week, so there may be drifting in the orchard. Otherwise trails are in excellent shape. There is no track set in the orchard. The head groomer will be leaving Thursday, February 25th for one week. Trails will be groomed, but not as often or to as high a standard. They should still be good however.

Whitefish Dunes State Park:

Conditions are fair. New snow less than 1″. Last groomed February 17th. Some sections soft while others are icy depending on how much sun gets to the tracks. Track is at full depth in many areas, but there are a few bare spots and some debris under the cedars and hemlocks. Red Trail that is normally double tracked is presently single track.
Peninsula State Park:

Conditions: Fair to Poor – Melting and freezing has left thin, icy snow with only a dusting of new snow.
Tracks have been too hard and icy to ski in the morning, but thaw enough by mid-afternoon to ski. Snow is melting away daily, and is getting too thin to groom well. The skate deck has been re-groomed, but there are a few spots where the Ginzu pulled up dirt. Tracks have a lot of burn through and are very icy – try waiting until afternoon to get out.

Pristine skiing along the Lake Michigan beach is just steps from the door of the Kewaunee Inn. Call for a room, or stop in for a meal before or after your trek.
