[ B skis ]
My first lap was challenging with the trail in desperate need of a grooming. Lots of drifted snow and foot traffic. I gave up. But as I tossed my skis into my car, the groomer showed up. Beautiful cord now. The big rock near the top of the first long climb still has minimal coverage.

It was groomed today. Thank you groomers! Base is soft. Classic tracks looked good but blowing snow is filling them in. The top of the climb by the lift is drifted so bad you have to snowshoe ski for 75yrd or so. Otherwise, fantastic conditions! Enjoyed skiing my favorite trail today!

Morning
Observation 
We hiked around the Chester ski trail area and the entire trail is pretty much hard packed ice with lots of foot prints. Very treacherous looking.
