Firsthand: Classic 
[ Trails Open: Most, B skis ]
Surprisingly good conditions. Used skins and wouldn't recommend waxed skis with the amount of debris blown around. Spent an equal amount of time skiing and plucking sticks and branches out of the packed trail. At 25 degrees both activities were enjoyable!

Trail in good condition, could use a little more snow. Track set and quite fast due to wet snow then froze. Some broken and overhang branches on trail, please help and remove branches from trail.

Groomed and set classic tracks this morning on Doan Lake trails. 3" heavy wet snow Sunday and Monday. Solid base. Good but not yet great skiing.

[ Trails Open: Partial, Rock skis ]
Doan Lake trails have been rolled several times over the last 5 days. Rolled and Feathered again tonight. The base is thin but overall good coverage. Still bumpy till we get more snow. No tracks till we get more snow. Overall pretty good early winter skiing on real snow.
