Trails were packed a few days ago so there is a firm base (with corduroy) of unknown thickness. About an inch of new dry snow and drifted powder on top, drifted depths can be greater in places. No tracks have been set as there's not enough snow. Coverage is quite good. I didn't see a bare spot, and leaves and twigs are minimal. Recommend rock skis for the hidden rocks that might lie beneath, but I encountered none. The most drifted stretch is that going from the parking lot to the woods, and thereafter trails were generally fine. Remarkable conditions for this early in the season and what snow we've received so far.
