Trails are groomed for skate and classic cross-country skiing and were tracked on Friday, March 24, 2023 at 5:00 PM
Comments: Tonight’s grooming effort will be the last of our season since the spring freeze thaw cycle has become too much for our groomers. Since November 30th, the MECCA trail system has been groomed 98 times, with our last groom on March 24th. The Chalet will be open through Sunday, March 26th. Enjoy one last ski tomorrow morning before temps are above freezing. As ski trails begin to deteriorate, snowshoe trails will remain open and are perfect for a spring adventure. MECCA Trails thanks all supporters of our unique trail system! See you next season!

Trails are groomed for classic cross-country skiing and were tracked on Monday, March 13, 2023 at 10:00 AM
Comments: Monday morning 2” of new snow was blended with existing snow and resulted in new tracks that are full depth, a little soft, with a firm base below. Hardly any woods debris, and a couple spots where it is a bit thin, but easily avoidable. Considered fair to good with excellent conditions in many areas.

Comments: Last grooming occurred on March 20th. Track was set only on Pipeline Loop. Right now there's between 25in and 36in base throughout trail system. Good spring skiing conditions! Vahtera and Takesson are open to fat-tire biking at this time, but not packed.

Comments: While warm weather has taken a significant toll on the ski trails, many areas still have enough of a snow base down for skiing. Trails are relatively thin, icy in areas, and dirty under pine cover. Rock skis are recommended.

Wisconsin's state parks and forests take on a special beauty during winter. Enjoy the winter scenery, get healthy exercise and have some fun by cross-country skiing on hundreds of miles of trails. Some trails are tracked for traditional skiing, some groomed for skate-style skiing and many are wide enough to accommodate both styles. There are also numerous miles of ungroomed trail for skiers to explore.
Most properties require a vehicle admission sticker to park at the property. Several properties also require a state trail pass for all skiers age 16 and older. These fees go directly to support the operation of the Wisconsin State Park System.
Wisconsin's state park trails are maintained by department staff and volunteer groomers. Ski trail conditions are subject to change and may be closed if snow conditions are poor. Click on the link for the property where you are interested in skiing for more information.
To keep ski trails in the best condition possible, once the trails are snow-covered, hiking, snowshoeing, pets and other uses are not permitted on the ski trails. Other property trails are designated for these uses. Skijoring and dog-sledding are also not allowed on groomed ski trails. For more information about these activities on DNR lands, see:
