Upper loop good! Access via Trickster.
Good for skate and classic. Pretty warm air temps, snow temps are cooler. Trickster access softer than last week but very chunky until the Ecrest grooming crew smooths it.
Saturday 2/20
Treacherous access. Dust on Ice this am. Above the bridge it cleaned up nice. Classic snd skating will be soft. An attempt will be made to groom late tonight so the track can harden for Sunday.

There is soft skate skiing conditions above the avalanche area but due to icy conditions below it is not possible to get the groomer there and back. Feels like spring.
