Beautiful sunny morning at Hartley. No classic tracks set yet, other than what had been made by the skiers before us, but rolled recently with good snow coverage. Had the trail to ourselves other than walkers who stayed on their designated trails.

We only skied the easy flat trail. The ski trails are groomed today, but no track. Most likely, the whole system was groomed. Usually classic single track, but just skiers making the tracks. Excellent to be out on the trail again with the fresh 8 inches to that area Sunday morning. The groomed trails were soft, may set up tonight with the cold overnight. Thanks to groomers! It’s a start! A good workout for the first of the season. I used my B waxable skis. Lots of tracks on the fat tire trails. Lots of tracks on the hiking trails, too. Thanks to walkers for staying off the freshly groomed XC trails.

Was walking the dog when I heard the groomer going by on the outer loop. Groomer has packed the trail but not set tracks. Only a handful of barely protruding rocks. It didn’t matter anyway! Beautiful day for the first ski of the season.
