Skied with fishscales at 5pm. Surprisingly good. If I'd had my optigrips with I would have used them. Good coverage. 2nd and 3rd laps a lot more fun once I had some tracks. Could be really nice in the morning if the temperature drops a bit. The trail has been mowed all summer, so there is good coverage everywhere. Watch out for squirrels...I actually ran over a squirrel that was digging in the snow. I looked down and saw him as I skied right over him (her?). Don't worry, he ran off and was OK. Note: The lights haven't been installed yet for the winter.
