[ Trails Open: All, Good skis ]
No grooming, just skier made tracks. The hikers and snowshoers don't heed the signs to stay off the ski tracks. As a result, the tracks made by other skiers were pretty much wiped out by them from the parking lot to the suspension bridge. After that, the ski tracks from prior skiers were pretty good. I was able to get the ski tracks from the parking lot to the suspension bridge back in shape by skiing out and back once and then back out to the suspension bridge to pick up the ski tracks that had not been wiped out. However, by the time I skied back from the suspension bridge to the parking lot, the ski tracks I re-established were already wiped out by hikers. Very frustrating!
