Casacade River to Stoney Creek is very good to excellent trackset skiing. Just a little debris where fallen trees were cut on the trail. The snow base is fantastic and reasonably firm for this time of year. Skate skiing is a bit rough with hiker and other divots or small ruts on the skating lane. Moderately fast snow.

I broke trail from Stoney Creek Bridge to roughly 2km from Cuthead Warden Cabin. Excellent snow base and excellent skiing with a good crust with up to 8 cm of new silky soft cold snow near Stoney. Generally easy trail breaking with on average about ankle deep ski penetration. The base gets more bullet proof further up the valley while ski penetration is about 6cn. I broke trail until it was too dark to continue without the headlamp.

When I got back to Stoney Warden Cabin, the temperature was -8C, the same as it was in the afternoon. After leaving the cabin at around 9:30pm the temperature increased to -7C with a little wind that brought the winchill to around -13c or so. A few light snow flakes were falling.
