Morning
Firsthand: Freestyle Lost/Found 
[ B skis ]
Here for the weekend and wanted to check this trail out. It was recently groomed and down trees cleared away. The skate deck was very firm and good. I rated B skis because there is a lot of debris on the trail. It looks like the groomers did an awesome job cleaning up down trees. I found some sunglasses and left them at the trailhead (pic). It was a fun ski and the trail had a lot of uphills and downhills. Good workout.

Morning
Grooming 
[ Trails Open: Partial, Good skis ]
What a difference from yesterdsy morning! I took the 7' wide ginzu groomer around the 5 km outer loop 3 passes. Twice on rhe skate deck and once for setting a pretty good track overall. Cooler overnight temps really allowed the base to set up. Interior segments still not cut open. Best skiing will be in cooler morning temps.

Morning
Grooming 
[ Trails Open: Partial, B skis ]
Three grooming professionals with help from Hal Leland cut open the outer 5km loop. Pulled a roller during the cutting and made 2 additional rounds with roller. Soft snow in the 28 degree temps, so allowing deck to setup overnight. Plans are to pull the 7' wide ginzu up (and down) those big hills Friday morning and hit the skate lane more and set track.

No grooming yet at French Rapids due to a number of downed trees from wet snow earlier this month. Plan is to start clearing trails and being grooming on Thursday.
