First time there for XC skiing, we took it easy after a week with COVID and this was the perfect spot for that... Spring conditions though.
Pretty bad conditions for the first 50 m or so starting from Healy Creek parking lot. Then, it is decent with skier track on the right side, debris, only a few icy sections and maybe a dozen rocks to watch for along the way. Conditions got better after Brewster junction. From Sundance to Cave and Basin, it is very icy at times but easy to avoid as there is a lot of space.
