Discussion:
I skied a route that took me up West Crystal / Moose Connector / Moose (north side) / Mountain View west / upper Mountain View east / Loggers / Iron Springs up and back / East Crystal.
One can see from the pulse report and discussion that most of this route had some grooming refreshing done except for Mountain View west which was skiable but not great. At least the descent from the col (south bound) was not too bad. It is amazing what the grooming crew was able to do with the poor conditions of the past few days. Trails close in (Crystal, Sundog / Loggers / Mountain Road) are in amazingly good shape with both grooming and track setting. The other trails that were just groomed varied from good to fair. I was going to ski the north loop of Iron Springs / Elbow but Elbow had not yet been fixed up, hence the out and back which was quite pleasant skiing for the most part despite the Marginal Conditions warning sign. The only hazard of note is the very top of the hill on Mountain View East heading west (top 5 m) which has been scraped pretty thin but can still be skied (or walked down).
