First time at Pincushion! The lady friend and I skied the Snowman Loops in the morning. Hills are heftier here than they are at my local golf course, at least for this beginner! The tracks were delightfully deep, with scant debris (pine cones, mostly). We skied again in the evening as dusk was approaching, it was a lovely and magical scene on the lighted track of the West Overlook loop. Tracks were top notch here as well.

Beautiful sunny day for skiing! I did the just groomed and tracked Pincushion Loop. They did a great job after all the recent rain. Although understandably the track was a little less deep than before, it was plenty deep and smooth. My skis stayed in track the whole time. Track was not grainular or glazed. My violet/blue kick wax gave good kick. Skate deck was firm and felt quite grainular so I tried not to fall.
After this loop I put more violet on and back to great kick. Both Snowman Loops and West Overlook were just as good.
