Skated Maple and Upland Loops from Moose Fence. Northern half of Maple Loop (S-Q, Q-P), as well as out/back connector from TH (P-S), were much better than trails out of Britton Peak TH. Much more level of skate deck and not near as undulating. Also great coverage. Upland Loop and southern half of Maple Loop (P-S) had more twigs poking through and were more undulating.

Skated from Britton Peak TH and looped counter clockwise, out on Wood Duck -> Bridge to Onion TH, back on Picnic -> Hog Back. The descents on Bridge, a couple on Picnic, and Hog Back were a bit harrowing, but more than manageable. Great coverage throughout, but as others have mentioned, a soft deck that is quite undulating at times with small brush poking through. All exposed rocks or dirt are avoidable and few and far between. Cool temps overnight and overcast has seemed to help maintain conditions, despite above freezing day temps.

We skied up the Onion River road and conditions were very good. We classic skied with waxless. We took the easy loop back down and it was very fast but tracks in very good condition. A skate skier said she found good conditions too but said it was slower than the classic. Overall, a very nice day.

Classic skied from Oberg trailhead around Picnic, Hogback, Bridge, and Homestead back to Oberg. Best conditions on Picnic and higher elevation trails. Lower elevation trails were softer and slicker. Downhills on Hogback and Homestead were very fast and skate deck undulating. But very fun, fast day. Not too many bare spots or dirt but divets from fallen skiers need avoiding.

Trails were much better than expected! Some icy, chopped up portions, but otherwise there were no bare spots. Didn't classic, but looked like the tracks were ok throughout most of trail system. Not many people out either.

Skied the A-F loops from Britton Peak Trailhead and conditions for classic were surprisingly good. Some rough spots on the skate deck that were a mix of brown peeking through the snow.

Skated out of Oberg around the Picnic Loop, half of Hogback, and Homestead. Started around 11 am and filnished about 2:30 pm. Skate deck was best around Picnic although pole punch thrus disrupted. Hogback was soft when we got there and the bumps on the big downhill on the east side were a challenge. Homestead was a little better and smoother. Coverage was decent everywhere with some stubble and some dirt starting to show thru. The connector back to Oberg was soft on the west end and better on the east end. Onion River Road and West Oberg were firm and fast. Hoping for colder temps but still the best skiing around.

Skated Onion River Road mid-morning (finished up about noon) and conditions were great--fast and firm. Overnight temps were definitely below freezing because conditions were much less soft than yesterday afternoon. Coverage on the road was great and I used my good skis. Coverage on the other sections near the Onion River trailhead isn't nearly as good but skiing was still enjoyable; I did both classic and skate on those yesterday. There are some sticks and grass sticking through, especially in the skate lane.

We skied the Maple Loop, with our Westie, from the Moose Fence trailhead. A fresh 1/2" of overnight snow covered nicely groomed trails with very few if any previous skiers. Trail conditions combined with little wind and mid-20s temps made for a great ski. Still in low snow conditions though, so more than a little grass showing through in spots, but also long stretches of perfect conditions. Way exceeded our admittedly low expectations.

Out of Britton Peak again skied Hogback to Picnic Loop to East Oberg and back on the connector over Homestead and back to Britton trailhead. Conditions remain good for the low snow. Best conditions on Picnic, East Oberg has very challenging bumpy downhill as does Homestead. Both tracks and skate deck are very firm and it was good to see skiers out today after six days of seeing no one.
