Looked promising from the tower end but vehicle ruts have trashed it.Needs to be flattened and hope for snow.Should have just stuck with initial plan to do a couple laps of Chickadee.

Did west Bluestem and west Esker.Glide and kick were great.There was a lot of debris but still good stretches. The worst debris was around the cone bearing trees.The stretch of Chickadee from the lot to the tower was awful and will avoid until more snow or a groom.
