Firsthand: Freestyle 
[ Trails Open: All, Rock skis ]
Skied the entire network. All around I'd grade the trails currently as sub-optimal. The system hasn't been groomed for some time. For classic skiing, local traffic has resulted in the track being worn enough that you can probably get away with a decent experience. However, the skate deck hasn't been touched since before the last snowfall and it makes for a miserable exercise. The northern loop trails are in a better condition the the southern ones circling the lakes. Notably, an incline on the southwest corner of Blue Lake Loop suffered significant enough melting that I elected to walk up it instead (see pictures). Elsewhere, the recent weather means that some parts are completely frozen over. Animal and boot tracks are also pretty frequent.
