Firsthand: Freestyle 
[ Trails Open: Most, Good skis ]
Able to skate ski this morning, base is in great shape. The trail was yet to be groomed. Some sections overblown and too much so to use. Difficult to stop and at times glide. Once groomed, should be a great trail. Classic track not well defined.

The prairies had great coverage and were very nice. The wooded areas had lots of debris, mostly harmless leaves. There were a few spots were the dirt was starting to show. No classic tracks were set.
