Finally enough snow at the gate to groom. It’s icy and paper thin for the first mile. After grooming, two of us skated it with caution; a very light touch with the legs and didn’t cut through the ice and to the pavement. But you sure could, so be cautious and you’ll be fine. It’s a completely different scene above the restroom, with 12″ at the first switchback and a bit more at the top. Groomed to the pass for skate and classic. It was too hard and icy to set classic tracks below the restroom. No snowmobiles or fat bikes buggered it up when we left mid-afternoon. Great to be back in the canyon. Happy New Year!
