Skied Pike Island full outer loop. Packed but not tracked. Surprisingly good conditions considering relatively little snow depth. Unfortunately many walkers have used the loop and left footprints all over,

Groomed area was well covered, nice and firm but soft enough for good traction. A few footsteps, fewer as you got further from the lot onto Pike Island.
