Fresh tracks laid after latest snow in good condition. Skied Eastern Drive, South Ridge, North Ridge and Lost Pond trails. Good tracks, minimal tree litter. Some animal tracks on the North Ridge trail. Snow pretty soft throughout.

[ Trails Open: All, Good skis ]
Fantastic grooming along farm fields, eastern drive and south ridge loop. Nicely packed with deep tracks. Lost pond trail was a bit more beat up by a walker on the trail. With the flower show today, it makes for a great day in the sun and indoors!

Morning
Firsthand: Classic 
[ Trails: Closed, B skis ]
We skied Prairie Trail, Lost Pond, and Eastern Loop. Some of the best snow conditions for classic in years. Double classic tracks. Lots of fresh powdery snow (a little blown snow in the tracks). The frost on the trees was amazing. Such a treat to ski natural snow trails. Trails were officially closed, really not sure why, but staff said we could ski anyway and buzzed us in through the gate.
