Pretty good conditions for classic skiing today. No bare spots on the portion of the trail between the Cass Ave. parking lot and the road crossing to the west. Tracks were chewed up in spots by hikers.

Still good for a few days after being groomed at Waterfall Glen. Full coverage, some leafy spots, the usual hiker footprints in the tracks, but the snow is deep enough and the tracks are holding up. Much better after you cross the road around mile 3. As long as you come expecting a shared trail in Chicagoland, it's great! Only saw a few other people on a Friday afternoon.
