The classic tracks created yesterday by Glenn were good first thing this morning. I skied most of the trails, initially the track edges were crunchy, and slow, until it warmed up a bit. There are some bare spots that need skiing around, but most trails are plenty wide to accommodate. I would avoid the NW Forest trail, it had large bare areas due to numerous springs, and some fallen branches. By the time I left, there was some hiking damage, but not terrible. It's certainly not like skiing groomed trails, but far better than breaking trail! It may still be good skiing Sunday.

Cross country skiing in March around here? Yes, just set some tracks with my skis on most of the trails. No hikers out yet, come and take advantage of the beautiful snow. Lot of debris from the ice storm still, but doable. Saturday morning should be good too!
