Firsthand: Classic 
[ B skis ]
I skied the upper arb. It hasn't been rolled, and snow is melting fast. Some south-facing hills are getting down to bare ground, but most of the upper arb is still skiable. Definitely slushy, but fun spring skiing!

[ Trails Open: All, Rock skis ]
The upper arb seems to have enjoyed some good usage and some foot traffic since the last snow. There was full coverage over most of the trail, but there are places where gravel is poking through that you might not see. Fun skiing but I took a few minor scratches. I can't imagine it will last, so enjoy it while you can.
