Elm Creek Cross Country Trails have closed for the season. Thank you to everyone who came out to ski this year! Hopefully we get some colder temps and more snow next winter!

Roller skied one loop, windy good workout.
Trails mostly dry, couple small wet run off spots, can ride through them. Minor debris from tree trim but nothing major. Beautiful sunny day out there!

Apr 6 - Flathorn-Gegoka Trails (Isabella):
Afternoon[ Trails Open: Partial, ]Firsthand: Classic
We skied from Jensen Trail on Highway #1 to 16> 20> 21> 24> Shelter> 24> 12> back to Highway #1. There was always snow to ski on, albeit pretty thin on occasion; 80% was 2 to 4-inch heavy-wet snow cover. Using waxless worked well; had good kick and glide. The bog had the least snow, so skiing in Labrador Tea vegetation was part of the adventure. Mary and I were delighted to have spent most of this sunny day enjoying these trails. Lake Gegoka is now opened up, time to get out the water skis.

Apr 6 - Mt. Ashwabay Ski Trails (Bayfield):
Morning[ Trails Open: Most, ]Firsthand: Classic
The trails were groomed this morning. There are a few open areas near the parking lot but as you climb to the sugar shack there is a surprising large snow pack on the trails. I really like the sugar bush classic trail which winds up and around the nearly 100 year old sugar shack. Its a nice place to stop for lunch on a beautiful April day.

Apr 6 - Blue Mound State Park (Blue Mounds):
Morning[ ]Firsthand: Classic
There is still snow at the mound. However, the trails are extremely patchy, so I would recommend doing laps at the top where there is still good coverage. Get out this morning though, it's getting soft quickly. Another skier and I have set some decent tracks, but there is still enough snow to set your own.

Apr 6 - Wolverine Ski Trail (Ironwood):
Morning[ Trails Open: Most, ]Firsthand: Freestyle
Plenty of snow with fresh grooming in the morning. The sweet spot for skating was 8-10 am and then it looked like a lot of no-wax striders enjoying the softening tracks on a sunny day.
