Not yet groomed but three inches of snow fluff was fun to ski in tracks but climbing hills a workout and slow. Oh well, good enough for early skiing! Picked up a few branches and put up signs for Youth XC fun in January and February. Waxable skis worked OK with Xblue, softer wax would have been better for more kick. Old style grid skis were terrible with snow clumping up the bottoms. Skier took them off and walked.
