Excellent skiing for either classic or skate on the whole parkway loop. Firm with some loose snow on top. The grooming and maintenance team have clearly been working hard to remove branches/trees and groom at the same time. Some people have been skiing on Ridge Road etc in some places, but that would remain a bit of backcountry experience at this point. Overall, our message would be that you should most certainly plan an escape from holiday festivities and ski!
