Observation 
Definitely not groomed at Nelson yet. Looks like the snowmobile tried some, but nowhere near skatable or striding.

Cold and windy but groomed for classic on the main loop (sunny side or something like that?). No tracks by M as of 2pm Saturday. Good to go!

Afternoon
Firsthand: Classic 
[ Trails Open: All, B skis ]
Not groomed but all trails covered with sufficient snow and decent skiing in tracks made by previous diagonal striders. Would be hard to skate ski through the 6 inches of wet snow.
