Skied on Sat afternoon up the Snowbasin road and a quick loop around the trails at the top. Good coverage, classic track set although firm conditions probably better for skate. Skittery corduroy but not too icy to get an edge in. This is perhaps the first time I've had a classic track all season!

Skiing should be good and fast all the way to Big Mountain. Classic is good above Afleck Park but below Afleck the snow is too firm to set classic.

Nils hit SR65 this morning. A bit of fresh, but questionable how it will bond to the firm surface for the first 1.5 miles. Furthur up it gets much better. Groomed to the second switchback. Some classic track set. Rerouted slightly for two moose on the road at the bathroom.

I skated there last Wednesday (25th) and Sunday (29th), with low expectations but was impressed! Not all is open, but most is. Hats off to their groomers for securing a good solid base!

Groomed to the top for skating only, as the bottom portion was too hard for setting classic. The portion above the first switchback (about 3 mi. up) is often a little rough due to the uneven surfaces created in the deeper/softer snow over the last several days by on-snow vehicles. Because of the sun and warm temps midday, by about 3:30 pm the groomed surface was beginning to ice up, especially below Affleck Park.

The groomed trails have plenty of snow and are fast with good edging. Classic track is set but you may need a klister, better skate conditions today. So if you don't mind the drive you can expierence some of the better skiing in the area. Mtn Dell pass is good for North Fork, otherwise a $5 donation is asked for.
