Hard, rutted, and difficult to get grip on flats. Definitely showing signs of heavy use, but once you adjust, it's fast. Good coverage mostly, though some debris in spots and a few bare patches forming under evergreens. Classic track looked really good, so if you've never straight-lined the upper arb, perhaps now is a good time.

Great skiing Tuesday afternoon in the Lower Arb... and the last few days! Recently groomed and tracked. Thank you, groomers! Hopefully, the trails will hold up during the warm weather.

Snow is nice but thin on the lower arb trail along the river. It has been rolled (thanks!) and there are some frozen puddles under the snow. It's nice out there, but I would ski a little cautiously because the snow isn't very deep.

Firm and fast - Great job grooming! A beautiful evening, and had them all to myself. Maybe a few small patches of windblown trail exposing grass, and one spot where the snowmobile kicked up some gravel on the skating trail near the baseball field, but otherwise great coverage with little debris.
