All of Door County has received two significant snowfalls. All ski areas are open. Trail groomers have been out working and report the following conditions:
Conditions: Good. As of Wednesday December 22, the grooming was still in progress after Tuesday’s snow. One pass on the south loop but the striding track is skied in for a back country experience. Grooming is done by all volunteers so please be patient. There is good snow coverage and the trail should be groomed in due time. Check the park office at 920.746.2890 for current conditions.
Snowkraft (formerly Cherry Hills Nordic)
Conditions: Very good. Groomed numerous times since the new snowfall. Base around 5 inches, although lower in windblown areas – dirt in a few areas. You may use your good skis now. Just a trace of dirt here and there. Classic track will be set late on December 23. All trails are now open.
Conditions: Good. Last groomed on December 22. Overall system is rated as fair to good. Track is set on all trails with full depth in most areas. Track is quite firm, but pole plant areas are still somewhat soft in many areas. The double tracked areas of the Red and Green trails that were affected by a construction project are now covered with mostly new snow, but still are very marginal and caution is advised.
Conditions: Very good. Thanks to the great snowfall on Tuesday and Wednesday with over 6 inches total snow, cross-country skiing conditions at the Crossroads are very good. Trails were rolled on both days thus adding to the good base. All trails were tracked December 23. Skate lane is somewhat soft in areas due to the warm weather but the track is excellent. A couple of cold nights will help. If we get heavy use during the next few days a new track will be set and the skate lane leveled for the weekend.
Conditions: Good. 6 inches of new snow last groomed December 22. Trails are in good condition with excellent snow coverage, and a little debris. Tracks are soft on the red loop but nice and firm elsewhere. Unfortunately, we have already had hikers and snowshoers on the ski trails, so please discourage such activities.
Conditions: Fair to good. Not groomed since last snowfall but single track is in good shape. Watch for rocks on Newport Loop. Grooming will probably occur December 24.
