P6-Penguin-Fire Tower

In summary conditions were excellent even if it was a little slow in spots.  The details:
P6 to Penguin via Parkway-excellent
Ridge Road from Penguin to #3-very good grooming, a little thin in spots
Ridge from 3 to Lookout-not groomed but skiable, very bumpy, needs more snow
Ridge to 24-excellent
24-couldn't tell if this had been groomed recently with a lot of traffic or just not groomed, bumpy, needs more snow
Ridge from 24 to McKinstry-very good fresh grooming, is thin in spots with a few rocks showing
McKinstry to Tower-Seems to have been groomed yesterday but had a thin layer of slow, new snow, grooming still very good but it did take extra effort.
On the return 1B-has been groomed recently but perhaps not today, bumpy, needs more snow
1B to P6 along the Parkways-excellent

Especially considering the snow this was perhaps the best day of grooming I have seen in a long, long time.  We can't blame the NCC for the lack of snow or the fact that it was slow today at certain points.  I had rock skis because I wasn't sure how Ridge would be further up and I did experience another nick.  Debris is showing as are a few rocks.  One could get away without rock skis.  If the grooming is as good Sunday it will be fantastic as things should speed up a bit.
