Golf course

The golf course has been groomed for both classic and skate style skiing.

Tomorrow the 28th, Winnebago County Conservation Foundation is holding a Winter Fun Day on the golf course at the clubhouse.  Time is 10:00 AM to 11:30 am and is free.  Wayne's Ski and Sport from Mason City will have cross country ski and snowshoe equipment to try out. Snacks and warm drinks will be available.  It should be a great day to come out and enjoy winter!

PIlot Knob

The road through Pilot Knob has had the skating lane rejuvenated again this morning.
The old classic tracks are still in fairly decent shape.  Hope you get a chance to enjoy it today.  The forecast this week does not look good for us.

Skating conditions were very good yesterday!

Rejunvenated Pilot Knob Road

The skating lane has been rejuvenated on the road through Pilot Knob this morning.  I made six passes to chew up the hard packed snow and ice, so the snowmobile was working hard!  It looks pretty good considering the conditions.

The skating deck was rejuvenated this morning on the Pilot Knob road.  The classic tracks were left alone and are still in fair shape most of the way.  It should be a good place to ski once things warm up some!

The skating deck on Pilot Knob road was rejuvenated this morning.  I left the old classic tracks alone because of the hard pack conditions.

Lodge & Majopa areas groomed

I had just enough time to groom the Lodge and Majopa properties tonight for skating.  I did put in a small classic track at the bottom of the hill.

The golf course is too thin and icy in spots to regroom that.  But the old classic tracks are still there, just a little hard and icy.

Trail clean up done!

Thanks to all who were able to help rake the road through Pilot Knob today.  There were many, many sticks blown down.  After 3 hours of raking I'm guessing none of us will want to look at a rake for a long time!

The road was groomed for skating and tracked for classic.  The classic tracks are a poor in spots, but not bad considering everything.
