Two days of light skiffs of snow covered debris so classic skiing was ok. Skiers set tracks on some loops. Barely zero degrees but no wind.

A bit thin, but one can maneuver between the trouble spots. I did get a 6" shallow groove in one ski when I got a little careless.

4-6" of snow. Not groomed, but tracks left by a number of skiiers. Occasional sticks and grass poking through, but overall I got good glide around 18F and dropping near sunset. First ski of the season - finally!
