This is the first time anywhere this ski season that I can say conditions were excellent. I skate skied the entire trail system on freshly groomed trails. Mine were the first tracks on the fresh corduroy. The skate deck was firm as were the classic tracks for double poling. Speed was very good and control on the downhills was also excellent. Kudos to the groomers.

Groomed skate lanes in early morning, turned out to be very firm with good corduroy. Tracks left in place. Overnight dusting of lake affect snow left a nice frosting.
