Morning
Firsthand: Classic 
[ Trails Open: All, B skis ]
Skied Irondale trails Saturday morning. Best conditions of the year so far. Thanks to Coach Chris and his cohort for the fresh rolling. We're fortunate to have this gem of a ski trail so close to us. It's our favorite trail in the metro by far... Good mix of hills and curves... meandering along the Rice Creek. And yes, the wooded sections have ample protection from the bitter wind.

Grooming 
[ Trails Open: All, B skis ]
Pulled the roller around the trails this morning. Thin but good coverage - no classic tracks, but classic was great after grooming! Upper fields by school has better coverage, but the wind is brutal! The entire trail now flows clockwise - including upper school fields.

Trail rolled and combed this morning. Nice conditions for classic. Thin but good coverage. Use B skis. One of the warmest places to ski in the metro with the good wind protection!
