Arrived at Castle lookout at about 10:30 after driving on a icy highway. A couple of cars in the ditch along the way. Trail had about 2 cm of fresh snow, but was not sticky. Temp was about minus 2. Use red wax on the front of my kick for grip which worked well no other wax. Nice steady ski all the way to baker creek. The mostly cloudy conditions helped keep the snow temp down. On return the last km was slippery and was a little frustrating. There is a few trees down from castle Lookout end but easy get around. Trail groomer is doing a great job. I hope they plan to groom the campground this year. Saw 7 other skiers so very quiet.
