NINE-MILE COUNTY FOREST RECREATION
Difficulty: Beginner to Expert Length: 20 miles (33 km); loops from .5 mile to 9.6 miles Grooming: Frequently groomed 8' wide skating lane and machine set double tracks on all trails.

1-30-2006 Conditions are again skiable after 2+" of new snow. There is still some ice as there was some very wet spots on the trails from the rain. The new snow came Sunday evening and may have saved the day. There were no classic tracks set today and it will take some skill and perhaps a bit more snow to get much in the way of tracks. With another inch and more grooming it is looking like skating will be good for Badger State Games.
I didn't take the time to wax for the conditions today and the skates were very slow in the new snow. With colder temps tonight the snow should set up much better tomorrow.
