A ski this morning found the best skiing/coverage/conditions under the current snow situation on North Loup. Skiing the east side of Sukkerbusk and Skaters Waltz was the best route out there. The entire loop of North Loup is covered with just a few areas of thin cover. There are also a few wet spots in the low areas but passable throughout. The snow is dirty etc. but being in the woods gliding on the corn snow was definitely better than not skiing at all!! Woods alive with smell of Springtime and birds chirping away.  The other trails have standing water in low spots and the best skiing for those venturing out this weekend is probably to ski the above description or cherry pick your way on the better sections of trail that have good coverage.
