[ Trails Open: All, B skis ]
Skied around the lower arb. No groomed trails, but there were skier-set tracks and conditions were great! Some ice peeking out in the forested spots by the river, but mostly good snow cover and very little debris.

Upper Arb has a freshly groomed skate deck. No classic tracks in the Upper Arb, just skate deck, but classic on the deck is fine, soft in places.

Firsthand: Classic 
[ Trails Open: All, B skis ]
Lots of snow in the Lower Arb. Was previously rolled; lots of snow since. Previous skier-set tracks starting to fill up with new snow. Giving a B ski rating for some low points along the river that are icy and, who knows, may have sand in them. Otherwise plenty of base.
