Latest Conditions

MECCA groomers were out today and groomed the 15k course. We could not set track, but the skate deck is in good condition. Enjoy the trail!

Mecca groomers were out on this beautiful day and leveled out the trail as best as possible. The skaters will have a smoother ride and track was set wherever possible. Conditions are fair to good with some leaf litter in a few areas.

The MECCA grooming team rolled and combed the entire system after receiving 4 to 5 inches of snow last night. We still need more snow in order to set the classic tracks. The base is soft but should set up with the predicted cold weather.

MECCA’s grooming team was out today. Trails are packed with a very thin base. Conditions remain not good. Fingers crossed for snow this weekend!

The Mercer area received approximately 3” of new snow overnight. The grooming team will be rolling the trails over the next couple of days. No tracks will be set, we still need more snow to make the trails skiable.

The Mercer area has been receiving lake effect snow on and off throughout the day. As you can see in the mid-day photo, the snow is about to cover the grass, it’s a positive start! Trails that cross wetlands have refroze again after the warm up over Christmas. MECCA’s Winterfest Event featuring MECCA 30 K, Flowage 15K and the Claire d’Loon 5 K races is 17 days away, we are hopeful for a combination of lake effect snow and a couple of winter storms will bring sufficient snow to have the event.

The wreath has been hung (thanks to Peggy and Bernie), the firewood is cut, the skis are waxed, the Chalet is warm, and the Gator is ready; however, the Mercer Area is still waiting for cold weather and snow. We will keep you posted.

Merry Christmas to all,
MECCA Trails ❄️

MECCA volunteers are ready to start grooming as soon as the weather cooperates. It’s been cold at night, so our wetlands should be frozen, but we’ve only had a few inches of snow. Stay tuned!
