Started at North End Trailhead. Trail is just rolled but had good coverage. Skated out to Birkie Classic Trail which was combed out but no tracks set. The trail was groomed to the Birkie Start area. Went through the Tormondsen Family Trail, what a blast. (Note that the Birkie snowmaking trails are closed during the day for racing.) There are sticks and bits of leaf and grass sticking through but nothing to worry about.
