Groomer was resetting the trail and conditions were looking great. The only down side is there seems to be a few walkers on the trail periodically.

Excellent skiing with fresh grooming yesterday. Classic and skate track. It really doesn't get much better. The lights come on at dusk if you want to ski later and the warming house is always open.

Afternoon
Firsthand: Classic 
[ B skis ]
Skate track freshly groomed; classic track icy. I did my classic skiing in the skate track. Quite a few leaves and pine needles. Base is pretty thin in some areas. Still a good ski, but we could sure use a fresh blanket of snow. Lots of deer!
