[XC] Blue Hills Trail report

[BlueHills]

Blue Hills Trail update...

Conditions were fair to good to very good today (January 17) skiing on packed powder with temperatures near 15 degrees F.  With this week's 3-1/2 inch snowfall, many trail sections offer enough cover to provide surprisingly good skiing.  Bring your rock skis and expect to find many trail sections in great shape, and scattered areas with easily avoidable rocks and dirt spots.

The WestSideTrail and most of the EastSideTrail were rolled for skating January 16 -- not quite enough snow to set a striding track.
