[ Trails Open: All, Good skis ]
Perfect grooming, apparently within the previous 24 hrs, and plenty of snow so that a warm-up shouldn't make even the slightest impact. The system is currently at its best.

Great skiing on freshly groomed and tracked NCAA trails. Good coverage throughout, but was surprised to see a few blade tips of grasses barely poking out in a couple spots. Wide skate deck and double tracks on quite a few loops.
