From the Britton Peak trailhead, I skied out to and around the Homestead and Hogback loops. Definitely early season conditions. Grooming was recent but despite the cold it had not set up yet. I was bothered by constant pole plunging on both sides of the track and track collapse when kicking. It made for slow going. There was occasional stubble, and dirt/ice over water berms, therefore the B ski suggestion. Let's hope for more snow and additional grooming!

Started at Onion River Road Trailead, skied the first 2km out to the rest of the trail system using fishscale skis. Not much snow and they have reported they can't groom until the USFS finishes whatever project they have going on further down the road. Hit a couple of sticks and some gravel in places laying down some tracks in between the tire tracks from the USFS trucks.
