Feb 13 - Birkie Trail (Hayward):
Afternoon[ Trails Open: All, ]Firsthand: Freestyle
I hesitate to offer a judgement because if you skied this morning or the south half of the system or even a half hour later than me, you had a very different experience. I started about 12:30 from the start area and followed a ribbon of fresh corduroy south on the Birkie Trail. Just south of Timber Trail I overtook two Pisten Bullys working the full width of the trail and laying down a fresh classic track. Once past the groomers I encountered what everyone else encountered. That is, hard pack. Same with the return trip on the Classic trail except that there was an inch or so of loose snow over a base that hadn't been touched up in a while. So my advice is to check for new reports on Wednesday morning to get the scoop on how far the groomers went. But the north half of the Birkie Trail will have been freshly groomed for sure.
