Great conditions at Mooney's Bay tonight. Stayed mostly in lit stadium/hill area, but good coverage and excellent grooming.

I didn't venture beyond the stadium or soccer fields, but these were well groomed and in surprisingly good shape.If you just want to work on technique or do a few sprints, this is a great place to go, and great at night because of the stadium lights. (Actually, I think the stadium/soccer fields might be the only officially open trails at Mooney's Bay until we get more snow).
