I skied the classic tracks on the Warm Up and Orchard loops. The tracks were in very good condition, with a couple of short stretches where tracks would have been difficult to set due to the previous drifting. I used my good skis with no damage. At +7 degrees, VO-5 Polar kicked well with decent glide considering the cold and new snow. Many thanks to the volunteer grooming crew!

I had a great ski on the classic trail of the North Loop section. Very good coverage. A little soft, but it should harden up soon. Thanks, groomers!
