Started at 9:00 am, all trails in good conditions, fast firm snow. At 10:00, softer and slower snow already with higher temperature. No debris on the trails but these temperature will not do any good...

Skied all trails at French around 2 pm. Very good snow, getting faster compared to two days ago. Deck getting firmer, almost no debris on the trail. Very nice and smooth glide.

Very nice smooth corduroy this morning at French. No icy spot, soft/slow snow but better than ice. All trails have been groomed perfectly.

Coverage is pretty good; a couple of darker snow spots and scattered organic debris. Challenge Hill was an A. However, I found it difficult to skate with all the heavily washboarded areas, which now cover approximately 60 percent of the trail. French is the only trail system I've skied that seems to have this issue.

Good conditions and a nicely tilled surface. A few rocks here and there to watch out for but overall very good.

Sunny, blue sky, windless... a great day to be out skiing. Add to that very good conditions for skating at French. Groomer had been out earlier and the trails are well-covered, just slightly soft from the new grooming but lots of fun and virtually no leaves or tree litter. Doesn't look like classic tracks were re-groomed but what was there looked skiable. Thanks groomers!

Skated all the trails. Excellent condition: all of them were well-groomed, great base, no ice, little debris, best conditions I've seen all season on any trails. My only regret is not using my better skis. Took notice of the tracks; they seemed ok, plenty of snow, although many sections were very shallow.

Trails were in surprisingly good condition. Everything was well covered, including the bottom of challenge hill. B skis due to tree debris on just about every trail. Lagoon had the most debris, per usual.

Skied around 9:30 am. Snow getting softer, slower but still OK. Not too much debris but B skis recommended.

Skied at 3 pm. Trails are in much better shape than I expected, very nice grooming job almost intact since not a lot of skiers with these temperatures. Snow is packed, not too fast due to temperature, very few icy spots here and there, downhill parts are not icy so no risk of fall there. Sunny afternoon without wind, so very enjoyable.
