Wirth

Could be better.

With all this snow, the trails at Bog and Butler were somewhat disappointing. Don't get me wrong, the skiing is great, but … first of all, it would have been very nice if they hadn't inexplicably plowed the road to the flower garden building down to a layer of ice (okay I'm a little bitter after almost biting it on the road). And overall—and perhaps this is due to the lack of a trail connection—the trail was rolled but not groomed so it is pretty soft and not at all corduroyed. It's definitely not bad; for March 1 it is great skiing (especially in the Bog) but I have come to expect better from the pros over at Wirth.

I can only get to two trails at most, on a good day! Check out all the trail reports at skinnyski.com

Wirth snowmaking

Tolerable.

The skiing at Wirth is okay. Over most of the course—90%—it's actually quite excellent, fast but with an edge. However, there are the couple of sections that are icy and dirty. It's a shame, because with temperatures where they've been a couple hours of targeted snowmaking would have Wirth in tip-top shape.

Step it up, guys.
