Firsthand: Classic Secondhand 
[ Trails Open: All, B skis ]
We skied the entire trail this morning and were pleased to find fair to good tracks set the entire trail. A bit icy on the hills between point 17 and 18. Points 19-22 on the other side of McDonald Rd were very good as was the trail from pts 23 to 16. The red loop was also in good condition. Pts 8 to 2 the trail was not in very good condition. The snow wasn't deep enough for good tracks to have been set and the boardwalk was very icy without tracks. Probably our last ski of the year at Navarino because they told us they were no longer grooming the trail this year.
