Morning
Firsthand: Classic 
[ Trails Open: Partial, B skis ]
A 3G effect! "Great Ginzu Grooming" on the trails that have been opened up. Solid tracks and fresh corduroy were the best on the Gold and Cedar, while the Summit, Bronze and Northern Lights were well loved. Conditions are early season fantastic - thank you groomers!

Afternoon
Firsthand: Classic 
[ Trails Open: Partial, B skis ]
Classic skied Gold, Summit up, and Bronze down. All are tracked and groomed for skating. Skate deck was a bit bumpy and soft, but tracks are in pretty good shape. B skis recommended, there is generally good coverage but some twigs and a few rocks poking through -- easy to avoid if you're keeping an eye out for them. All things considered, great conditions for early season. Hoping this bodes well for a good snow year! Swix V40 covered with V30 was dragging a lot in the stadium and golf course but was kicking well in the woods. Also classic skied a few laps of Northern Lights Friday evening and it was in great shape.
