Excellent condition at Gooseberry Falls State Park. Park received several inches of snow yesterday and was freshly groomed for classic only today. I was the first one on the trails and it was absolutely perfect. Skied the eastern hills and part of the center Fields loop. Temperature about 14°. There was a strong wind but the woods protect you mostly from the wind. No debris on the tracks Even though you go through some pines in a few parts.

I skied the trails above the highway East of Gooseberry river. It appeared that all trails were groomed today or on Tuesday. The conditions are excellent with packed powder, full coverage and deep set tracks.

What a beautiful day to be out xc skiing! Center fields and Eastern Hills were groomed nicely. There were a few crunchy spots where the snow had dropped from the trees. I saw lots of animal tracks and birds. A nice late autumn ski!
