Fresh corduroy was nice, despite being soft and very shallow. Much of the time, pole plants were challenging, effectively planting into the ice base below the shallow layer of snow. Some areas of debris and grass poking through, but very good coverage overall. Beware, on the hill up to F, coming from K, there was a large bare spot of sheer ice. I had to take my skis off and walk up the side because I couldn't even get traction to herringbone. They were rolling the trails again while I was skiing at noon, so maybe they'll be able to cover that back up.

Skate deck looked a little loose in places but not bad. Classic track varied between well set and decently skied in. Tracks were decently fast and packed. Some debris on the trail but easily avoidable and visible. Was still good skiing!

The lights were not on and groomers had not come, but it was delightful skiing through the quiet woods in the neat tracks that were set by other skiers out earlier in the day. Trails were covered with soft snow, which was perfect for slowing down and enjoying the winter landscape.

Back to square one at Lester. Ice, dirt, slush, puddles.

Short jaunt on the mid-lower A-B loop. Fair amount of debris and some scraping on dirt here and there on the very lower portion. We weren't able to get to the upper loop. Definitely less coverage than at Hartley today, glad to have rock skis here. No track yet, obviously.
