Great, natural snow trails at Irondale this morning. Some oak leaves, and a bit of an icy patch dropping from fields to wooded section. The new(to me) corkscrew leaving the swampy area had some dirt, but it's a bonus section, so avoid if worried about scratches. Looking forward to seeing it again.

Classic and skate skied trails this afternoon into the evening. Everything had been rolled in the afternoon and had set up nicely. Special thanks to head groomer! He did a great job packing first snow of the season! There were lots of oak leaves but good coverage throughout the trails. We will not be able to groom trails again until the weekend at earliest - hard to tell what will happen with weekend weather. Our solar LED lights were coming on at dusk for a great early evening ski!
