Conditions: Decent skiing with a little dirt showing through in spots.
Enjoyed a nice ski this morning on the lower loop. Added one big scratch so I would recommend rock skis until there is more snow.

Conditions: Fairly good considering the amount of snow we have.
I skied the lower arb trail along the river this morning and it was nice. It has a single set of tracks set, with thin but adequate snow. I encountered no rocks. A nice outing.

Conditions: Packed with footprints.
Still very skiable tonight, though lots of prints. No bare spots and little debris. Overall pretty good conditions, and the warm day softened it up nicely. The new snow might be just the ticket.

Conditions: Fair-good, adequate snow coverage.
Skied 8:30-9:30a on trail along the river, snow coverage good along whole trail, two-way classic skiing with a 4-5' distance between them. Not an exorbitant amount of snow but plenty for full coverage.

Firsthand: Classic [
] |
Most of the lower Arb trails are rolled and have decent skied-in classic tracks. It was really nice and lots of people were out enjoying the trails. No fear of gravel and sticks, and the snow was much drier today than yesterday. The upper Arb has a decent base with several inches of powdery snow on top. There are decent skied-in classic tracks and a few people skate-skiing as well.
