Firsthand: Classic 
[ Trails Open: Most, B skis ]
Remarkably good. Only the start area and right in front of the wax building had been rolled since yesterday, but that meant a fresh 1/2" of fluff on top of the oak leaves everywhere else. I skied the upper loops for an hour kicking extra blue and didn't hit anything. Oak leaves aren't much of an issue - I had really solid glide and no sudden grabs. Go get it!

26F at 11AM with 4" of fresh snow. Most of the upper trails rolled with 1" base. Caution advised on a few downhills with gravelly spots. Ski Skidder backwards for now. Lots of oak leaves in places, but overall decent skiing for low snowfall.
