I tried to re track but only left chunks so had to cut twice then level, then cut and track. I reconditioned and tracked the green loop only then left for the day. What is there is very good and one half inch of dry snow yesterday makes for debris free tracks. We tried, but this is one of those times where what is there, is better than result of reconditioning. Green reconditioned loop in good shape and the rest was left as that also was in in very good shape.

Trails are groomed for classic cross-country skiing and were tracked on Thursday, March 21, 2019 at 3:00 PM Comments: Tracked the green loop around Pallette Lake only. Laid nice track but snow is blocky crystal typical late winter snow. Conditions are fair as tracks will be fast in the Am and slow in the PM. Nebish Road is starting to thaw and is a bit muddy in a few spots. Nebish Road should is firm after cold nights but by late afternoon could get soft similar to the classic tracks. There is some debris in the track but not unusual for this time of year. LUMBERJACK TRAILS: Trails are not packed or groomed for skiing. RAVEN TRAILS: Trails are not packed or groomed for skiing.

The .9 mile loop trail is open for skiing, snowshoeing or hiking. Pets welcome. NORTH LAKELAND DISCOVERY CENTER TRAILS: Tuesday, February 26, 2019 – More snow, more snow, and more snow. If you like DEEP snow…we got it!!Trails were rolled this morning for cross country skiing. The trail section between 7 and 8 on our trail map will not be groomed for awhile due to the snow depth. Come on down and enjoy the trails! WINMAN SKI TRAILS: Trail update March 11: We picked up another 5-6″ of snow this weekend and groomed the snowshoe and ski trails this morning. With full sun and the fresh snow, conditions are currently pretty soft. With above freezing days and nights and rain in the 10-day forecast, keeping the trails in shape for skiing much longer may become a challenge.

Even with the fresh few inches of snow over the weekend, it did not cover the debris up. The deck and tracks are in good shape right now but will change as temperatures fluctuate. ***Skater’s loop remains open only to the warming shelter*** Overall the trail is in fair to good condition considering the amount of debris. MADELINE TRAILS: DNR rating: Good.

The only segment not tracked is the first Red segment to the shelter that is only leveled. Tracks looked like they will set nice if it doesn’t warm up to much today. There is a little debris from the winds yesterday. Have fun!

Come on down and enjoy the trails! WINMAN SKI TRAILS: Trail update March 6: With a light dusting of snow and a windy day yesterday it was time to clean up the ski trails – so we did. Fatbike trail update: I finally got a chance to check out the fatbike trails today and they are beautiful…for snowshoeing…but are totally unrideable for fatbiking. With the amount of snow, drifting and crustiness it would be pointless to try to run the Snowdogs until we can get the trails packed down. The best way to do this is to snowshoe them in and then once there’s a relatively firm, flat base I can start running the dogs with the groomer. Want to help? Grab your snowshoes and come on out. I’ll have a trail list on the counter with tick marks on how many times the trail has been stomped. Pick a trail with the least amount of tick marks, stomp it and tick it off when you get back. I figure each trail will need to be stomped 8-12 times before I can attempt to groom it. CAMP MANITO-WISH YMCA TRAILS: Trails will be tracked for Classic skiers every Thursday.

MADELINE TRAILS: DNR rating: Good. Trails are groomed for classic cross-country skiing and were tracked on Wednesday, March 06, 2019 at 3:00 PM Comments: All loops were leveled and tracked. Except for the Red segment that has the 1st steep hill to the shelter- this was only leveled. Good conditions, a few leaves scattered on the trail. I am having equipment issues still and will be sharing a gator from the McNaughton trail. This will delay grooming operations for Madeline Trail after a fresh snow. Thanks for your understanding.

WINMAN SKI TRAILS: Trail update February 14th: Had both Snowdogs out this morning and it took hours to slog through just the Demo, Bridge, Twins, part of Hub and Trial & Air bike trails. To call them groomed and rideable would be a total lie. We are exhausted and giving up for the day. I’m going to pick up a second sled for the new Snowdog today, ditch the groomer for the time being, focus on packing the remaining trails on Friday and maybe try grooming at the end of the day. The ski trail actually setup pretty nicely – tracks and skate lane – last night for our WinMan Wednesday ski. Originally I was going to groom again today but with a couple inches of snow forecast for tonight, I’m going to hold off until tomorrow (Friday).

Boulder Junction Winter Park Located on Old Hwy K, 1/4 mile from Main Street/Hwy M South: Ice skating rink, sledding hill and warming hut are open. The .9 mile loop trail is open for skiing, snowshoeing or hiking. Pets welcome. Escanaba Trails-Trails are groomed for classic cross-country skiing and were tracked on Tuesday, March 06, 2018 at 1:00 PM Comments: Cut and tracked all loops. Escanaba Trail is in good condition. Cold weather and low use will keep tracks in good shape. There was a measured 22 inches of snow on an undisturbed picnic table near the Research Station. Unless we have a shift in task priority, or the tracks are still in good shape, we expect to touch up again on Friday. This time of year we may have to recondition and mix the snow before tracking which takes additional time. If reconditioning our goal would be to have the yellow and green loop tracked by 11:00 Am Friday and the entire trail by 1:00PM. McNaughton Trails- Trails are groomed for skate and classic cross-country skiing and were tracked on Tuesday, March 13, 2018 at 8:00 AM Comments: All trails tracked/groomed this morning. The trails have a decent base yet but some areas feel like solid ice. There are some spots on the classic loops that have shallow tracks but for the most part the tracks turned out fairly well. The skaters loop is in real good condition minus the one area near the lake where large drifts accumulated in previous weeks. Considering the time of the year, the trails are in good condition. Madeline Trails- Trails are groomed for classic cross-country skiing and were tracked on Tuesday, March 13, 2018 at 11:00 AM Comments: All loops cut twice and tracked. Raven Trails- Trails are groomed for classic cross-country skiing and were tracked on Tuesday, March 13, 2018 at 1:30 PM Comments: All loops have been cut twice, leveled and tracked. Much leafy debris under the conifers on the Red and Yellow loops. Lumberjack Trails- Trails are groomed for snowshoe and bike and were groomed (corduroy/leveled) on Tuesday, March 06, 2018 at 12:00 PM Comments: Blue and Green loops have been leveled. North Lakeland Discovery Center Trail Report: Tuesday, March 6 – B+ conditions. We received about 2″ of snow last night and the trails are freshly groomed this morning for classic cross country skiing. Open for skiing or snowshoeing. Donations appreciated for your use of our trails! We have about 12 miles of ski trails and two mile snowshoe loop.

Some areas of tracks are a little shallow but overall they are in good condition. LOTS of debris was on the trail from the recent high winds. The skater’s loop, overall, is in good condition. It just a little soft but smoothed out nicely after this snow. The only spot that has some humps is near the lake where the drifts always pile up. There is considerably less debris on the skaters loop vs the classic.

The 2017-18 ski season has started. We had been out earlier this week after the first light snow doing some packing and clearing of trees after the strong winds. We will be out packing the snow we are receiving today over the next couple of days. I will send out new reports on ski trail grooming as it is reported to me. You may also check on skinnyski.com as our groomers will be making firsthand reports to the site. We also have a phone line, 715-385-3355 Ext.121, which will have a recorded ski report. McNaughton Trail – 12/13 – All loops have been packed with the roller. There are two small wet spots on the trail which I hope will freeze up soon. One spot is a little way after you pass Helen Lake, the other is on the Red/skaters loop shortly after you leave the trailhead parking lot. I know the wet slush causes problems when it freezes up on grooming equipment and skis. Tony Martinez Parks and Recreation Specialist Northern Highland American Legion State Forest

Trail Report March 7, 2017: The recent weather has taken its toll on snow conditions in the north woods. We are suspending grooming of the trails, most likely for the rest of the season.

We received a couple inches of snow since the last grooming. All trails have areas of thin snow. The forecast is for another batch of warm days on Saturday and Sunday with rain coming on Monday. Conditions vary from poor to good on all trails. Madeline Trail – 3/1/17 – All loops tracked. McNaughton Trail – 3/1/17 – Skaters loop groomed. All other loops tracked.

Escanaba Trail - About 6-7” fluffy new snow in last day or so. Tracked green loop only today. Rest of trail was groomed about mid snowfall yesterday and was left to “ski in” as today’s grooming didn’t seem to improve conditions. Conditions vary greatly from poor (very thin – not enough snow to set track) to very good. The tracks in hardwoods sections are mostly good or better. The conifer sections are very thin. Do not take good skis on this trail at this time. There are many short sections of trail with no track due to thin snow cover. Raven Trail – All loops tracked. Thin spots under the conifers on the Red and Yellow loops with conditions on these loops being poor to fair. The Green and Blue loops have fair to good conditions. McNaughton Trail – Skaters loop groomed with one spot of slush noticed about 100 yards from the trailhead. Good conditions. All other loops tracked. Thin spots under the pines along Helen lake. Fair to good conditions. Madeline Trail – All loops tracked. Had an issue with one of the trackers so some parts of the trail have a single track. Thin in spots. Fair to good conditions.

The recent warm spell has taken its toll on the trail base. The forecast calls for a good amount of snow on Friday – Saturday. We will try to get the trails groomed on Saturday if conditions permit.

The warmer weather has left the trails with a very moist base of snow. The cooler temps that are here now may improve the conditions. I attempted to groom Raven trail yesterday and ended up getting stuck on the first hill on the Red loop with snow packing up in the groomer. I then made an attempt to just track the inner loops without cutting up the old track and the results were not very good. The groomer for the Escanaba trail is out right now to see what he can do with the snow conditions out there. We will make efforts to get the trails groomed for the weekend. Please have patience.

The rain and high winds had left the trails with many trees down, debris on the trail and a thick ice crust. Need more snow to get them back in good shape. Escanaba Trail– 12/27/16 - Escanaba trail is in fair shape. The recent wind and ice crust that formed made for very challenging grooming. All loops were cut three times and decent track was the result. Expect a fast track and not a lot of cushion in your fall. A dusting or two of lake snow should cover the debris and make for a nice ski. Conditions are fair but would move to fair to good with a covering of new snow. Still some thin spots so, if available, take the rugged, less expensive set of skis. Raven Trail – 12/27/16 – Trail cleared of down trees and most branches. Fair conditions. All loops were cut twice and tracked. Still very thin and shallow tracks set under the heavy conifers on the Red and Yellow loops. Madeline Trail – 12/29/16 – All loops cut twice and double tracked.

The cross country ski trails in the Northern Highland American Legion State Forest are still open but deteriorating fast due to high daytime temperatures. Escanaba was last groomed on Sunday, March 8th and McNaughton on Monday March 9th. Both had enough snow to groom but that was two, near 50 degree days before this report.I believe we are in a holding pattern and may not groom again unless we receive cold and snow again which is not predicted. We are still open and there may be some opportunities but it would be on conditions that would be fair at best. I will send a notice if we officially close. We thank you for your patronage this year.I look forward to hearing from the “ski until the snow is gone” crowd.

All Northern Highland-American Legion State Forest Cross Country Ski Trails are in very good to excellent condition. Escanaba was last groomed on March 3rd. Raven, McNaughton and Madeline were groomed on March 4th. The only reason they are not rated excellent condition is a small amount of leaves in the track, which naturally occurs this time of year. This weekend should be some of the best conditions of the year for consistent conditions. On average we groom until mid-March.For great track I would say skiing today, March 5th through Monday March 9th would be best. We will be grooming a limited amount after that and conditions will become variable once the 40 degree temperatures arrive. By variable conditions I mean fast frozen tracks in the morning and slower softer tracks in the afternoon, with klister wax and proper waxing becoming critical for traction and glide. Boulder Junction Winter Park: Open for ice skating, sledding, snowshoeing and cross-country skiing. North Lakeland Discovery Center: Tuesday, March 3 - We received around 4-5" of fresh snow yesterday and tracks are set. Trails at the Discovery Center were groomed yesterday, and are in good shape.
