Very good for classic. Skate lanes on most trails except western half of Central and adjacent links pretty narrow for skating. Oak leaves starting to accumulate but 1 degree temps and hard kick wax made for very enjoyable classic. Downhill tracks great fun except I have lost my courage on the steepest descents on Wildcat, and snowplowed in skate lane to keep my speeds subsonic. If you are familiar with these trails and love when classic is good there it is a perfect place in these next cold days. South loop is not groomed otherwise everything groomed nicely. Warming hut open. Thanks for your previous report Natalie, that sealed it for Sandy and I to head there and enjoy our best ski of this season. 24k and no repeats!

Thanks to about a foot of fresh snow, the trails are in excellent condition. There is some fine debris such as leaves, needles and some small twigs, here and there but we have full coverage. Tracks set up very nicely. A few things to note: Norway Pine is packed only as there was some major drifting. A short segment on Central from the first link to the Beginner loop is ungroomed due to a down tree (plan is to clear it early next week), for now bypass using the Beginner loop and link. Enjoy!
