Near perfect conditions on Massie loop on Saturday. The classic track was set really nice, with soft and fast snow, 10°F, and no wind. It was a beautiful ski around Massie about 4 pm as the sky was getting dark. I skied Sunday at lunch at 1:30 pm. It was still a great ski, but the snow was much drier, slower, and windblown. Two pairs of wolf tracks were observed on the Massie and Hall loops. A few other skiers' tracks were also visible, both classic and at least one skate. The base deck was really nice. It was completely transformed with some snow and careful grooming from two weeks ago. I am really grateful for the great trail.

Skied east from Caribou Trail to near the snowmobile TH near Pioneer Loop intersection. Did Massey and Hall loops. Classic tracks in great shape and skate deck also looked good. Good coverage and good skis are fine.
