Classic tracks still mostly good. Some tracks close to "shoulder" have lost their right edge but not a big problem. Great ski.

Lakewood was freshly groomed and in really nice condition. Nice firm tracks. The skate deck also seemed pretty firm. Just a few grassy spots where the snow was a little thin and a few snow angels in the tracks from fallen skiers. A shout out to the groomers: Nice work.
