Weekly Cross Country Ski Report brought to you by Door County Silent Sports Alliance

Thursday February 4, 2010

Potawatomi State Park:

Ski conditions good for skating and classical. 1 inch fresh snow groomed February 3rd over old base. Striding track is set, new but shallow. Skating lane is groomed with fresh corduroy but there is some unevenness from last week’s thaw in the old base. The volunteers have done the best job possible with what Mother Nature provided.

Crossroads at Big Creek:

An inch of new snow fell Tuesday night, February 2nd. Trails have not been groomed since last Wednesday January 27th due to the fact the groomer was able to get them back in good condition after the rain. Skate lane and classic track both very good and fast. A couple of bare spots remain.

Cherry Hills Nordic Center:

Last groomed Wednesday, February 3rd. New snow of 1.5 inches fell February 2^nd. Classic track good. Skate lane excellent. The new snow has rejuvenated the trails.

Whitefish Dunes State Park:

Following approximately 2” of new snow on February 2nd, trails are in fair condition. There is not enough new snow to lay a new track, so skiers are skiing in the new snow over what is left of the old track. When there is more snow the trails will be re-groomed and a new track will be set. For latest trail conditions call the park at 823-2400.

Peninsula State Park:

Part of the Purple loop is skate skiable, as is Middle Road, but that’s about it. The Yellow loop has been re-ground and smoothed out for the candle light hike that will take place Saturday evening February 6^th. The rest of the trails are not in good condition.
