Trails are reasonably well covered but ungroomed. I skated; classic likely would have been more fun here. The black loop is probably worth avoiding; the ruts and lumps make for a very unstable ski. But the blue loop is much more level and even and makes for a pretty enjoyable ski. Lots of tree debris and the usual large rocks in places, but if you're careful these trails can be enjoyed.
