I left from P9 hit the Doldrums and turned left @ 13 to head over to 1black. From there it was straight up to the Fire Tower with a detour on 24 on the way up and 1b on the way back to the FP. When I checked the GP website this morning it indicated there had been no new grooming. However everywhere seemed well groomed except from McKinstry to the Tower. The grooming itself was very good however there was some damage in different places from snowmobiles. The worst was on trail 13 where there is major damage. The ruts were quite noticeable on much of Ridge although not too much of a problem. 24 was untouched and was fantastic, as was Penguin. The ungroomed part of Ridge past McKinstry was still very good with a few cm of fresh snow. (Fortunately the lack of grooming here discouraged the hikers that were out last weekend)
I'd be surprised if those on their classic skis today would have anything bad to say, all looked good.
Re: 1Black. This trail is listed as a skating trail on the GP site. However in sections it has two classic tracks close together and no skate lane. I guess from this it really is not for skating but it is very nice section with a couple of steep (but short) climbs.
