Skating at Timber Coulee

Good Old Skandic

She was waiting to get out for a ride after several snowfalls that were too wet to groom.  Today was the day... we groomed for the first time this year.  There were lots of small trees to cut off the trail (and I didn't get them all), some grass and willow stubble poking through, and a few wet spots.  But I think it will set up nicely with the colder temps, and the overnight snow should cover most of the remaining stubble.  I'd still recommend B skis, but get out there and enjoy it.  The Penalty Loop across the bridge is very short, but in the best condition.  No tracks yet.

Snow, but too warm?

The new snow looks great.  It is probably too wet and 'packey' to groom, but I might give it a shot if it drops below freezing overnight.  Stay tuned...

Also, I am planning to start some dryland training practices Mondays and Fridays from 3:30 - 4:30 until we get on snow.  Call or text if you are interested.  Dan 608-632-6272

2023 Season

Greetings Ski Families!  We have had some promising weather already this winter.  The trails at Timber Coulee were actually white last weekend (thanks for the pic, Chris).  I hope the trend continues.  I would like to resume having practices on Monday afternoons.  We will need a few coaches to help, depending on how many kids sign up.

 

Impossible conditions; postpone clinic

Due to the nasty weather (and low snow base), I couldn't get anything groomed up for Saturday.

Hopefully we'll get a dump next week and can get back out skiing next weekend.

Saturday Ski at Timber Coulee

Join us Saturday down at Timber Coulee from 1-4pm.  You can park at the Rod and Gun Club on CTH P.  Don't park on the snowmobile trail, which runs through the parking lot adjacent to the stream.

We are getting a little thin on snow, but I will do some grooming this evening... and it should be OK.

Timber Coulee Trails

The trails at Timber Coulee are looking much better after some snow and grooming, although there is still some weedy stubble and ant hills to navigate around.  I have not groomed all the way down to the Rod & Gun Club yet, so you would have to ski up the side of the snowmobile trail to get up to the ski trails, or park near the DNR shed.

We might have the clinic down at Timber Coulee on Saturday; check the blog on Friday... depends on conditions.

Blogger news; BlogSpot discontinued using Feedburner "follow by email services" in July.  If you have subscribed in the past, you should still be getting updates.  There is no replacement service offered yet, so new users will just have to check the blog periodically.  Sorry for the hassle.  If anyone knows of a work-around, let me know!
