Door County Cross Country Ski Report: March 25, 2011
Amazing - just when we all thought we should store our ski equipment until next winter, we were blessed with over 12 inches of snow across the county on Tuesday and Wednesday this past week. Door County Silent Sports Alliance has the pleasure of being able to issue week 15 of the ski report! We are indebted to all the volunteer trail groomers as well as to all those who did trail work during the summer months leading up to ski season. Thank you for a wonderful, long season of nordic skiing in Door County.
Potawatomi State Park: No official report but there is plenty of snow and the woods should be beautiful with snow heavy on the trees. If volunteers have been able to get out to do grooming, the trails should be very good.
Crossroads at Big Creek: All ski trails at the Crossroads were rolled and packed on Thursday morning. Snow is heavy and wet but with the cold weather tonight we should have a very good base again. A track will be set early on Friday morning. We will have very good skiing at the Crossroads over the weekend.
Snowkraft (formerly Cherry Hills Nordic): Snowkraft is groomed and ready for skiing!!
Whitefish Dunes State Park: It ain’t over til it’s over! Just when we were getting ready to put the grooming equipment away for the season, mother nature dumps 12 “ + of heavy wet snow. Trails were packed, and track set Thursday. Very good to excellent in many areas. Because of the density of the snow and the warming temps, getting a full depth track was a challenge, but it is very good in most areas. All in all, this might be a last time to take advantage of good skiing this weekend.
Peninsula State Park: 10"-12" of new snow fell yesterday! As we are reliant upon volunteer groomers right now, there have not yet been any tracks laid, but they are planning on getting out to groom Thursday evening. Sustained, below-freezing temperatures should keep the fresh snow around at least through the weekend, and conditions should be excellent, barring any windstorms or sudden melt-downs!
Newport State Park: No official report but there is plenty of snow for classical skiing.
