Trail Conditions Report
Sat, Feb 27: Milham Park Golf Course (Kalamazoo)
Milham was groomed this morning. Skiers should find good conditions. The trail has full coverage and is not dirty with sticks and such. Please try to stay of the trails when above freezing; noon/oneish to sixish. We are unable to remove the deep skate marks left behind and with little snow still is the forecast lets try to make the trail last as long as we can. Thank You.

Tue, Feb 23: Milham Park Golf Course (Kalamazoo)
All of the trails at Milham, both styles, were groomed this morning. Where there was a base remaining the conditions are good. The trail on the north side, where there was no base, the conditions are poor. The ground was warm and as soon as the snow was smooshed down it started to turn to slush. The road crossings are good and the trails through the middle are also good. Come enjoy while the snow lasts.

Tue, Feb 16: Milham Park Golf Course (Kalamazoo)
After receiving three inches of new snow over night all the trails at Milham were groomed this morning. Skiers should find good conditions with the exception of the two road crossings. Earlier in the year the golf course crew was lifting the plow at the road crossings but failed to do so this morning. There is a small amount of ice over the road in these two spots but care should be taken when crossing. Come enjoy the snow while we still have it.

We groomed the skate lane at Milham again today due to deep drifted snow. The classic track was left as it was. It was not drifted over and with the shallow base that we have no improvement would have been made. Skiers should find good conditions with three inches of packed powder.

Wed, Feb 10: Milham Park Golf Course (Kalamazoo)
We finally have enough snow to get Milham going again! Skiers should find good conditions late this afternoon. Milham should be ready to ski by 5:00 or 5:30 this day. We had very little base in spots and no base in the rest of the trail.
Skiers will find the trail groomed for both skating and classic.

Fri, Jan 8: Milham Park Golf Course (Kalamazoo)
Milham was groomed this morning after receiving approx. 6" of snow over the past 24 hours. A wide skate lane was set and for the first time this year I was able to groom a classic track. We still do not have a deep base but skiers should find very good skate, and good classic conditions. The trails into the middle and the warm up loop have also been regroomed.

Milham is Fantastic! After receiving an additional 3" of snow Milham was groomed this morning. Skiers should find the best ski conditions so far this year(ha, ha) / Season. Happy New Year.

Tue, Dec 29: Milham Park Golf Course (Kalamazoo)
Milham was groomed this morning after receiving an additional 3" of snow since Sunday. Today skiers will really find "good" conditions unlike Sunday, when good turned out to be a bit of an exaggeration. A wide skate lane has been set with multiple paths into the center. We are still unable to set a classic track due to thin snow. Many classic skiers have skied along the edge of the skate lane setting a track.

I am leaving to groom Milham when I am done typing this(7:30 AM). We have received 3-4" of very light and fluffy new snow on top of a thin refrozen base. I expect that skiers will find good conditions by mid morning; come and enjoy!

Sat, Dec 19: Milham Park Golf Course (Kalamazoo)
Milham has been groomed for skating. Over the past week we have lost almost all of our thin base and have only received two to three inches of snow since this morning; so I was unable to set diagonal tracks. After it gets cold tonight and the trail sets up, skaters should find fair conditions. As soon as we are able to do so diagonal tracks will be set.

Milham is groomed. Tracks, and narrowish skate lane have been set. Conditions are not great but overall good. We will regroom Sunday morning as long as it is cold enough. At that time we will widen the skate lane and reset the classic track. I also plan on cutting trails into the middle like last year. I skied both styles this morning and it was good and will only get better.
