Nordic Pulse is showing an accurate report on what has been groomed: approx. 75 K groomed in the last 36 hours. The snow surface (and supporting base) are primarily now dry packed powder. 

With the exception of East Pasture (incl. Baldland and Windy Hill Fields) almost everything that has been groomed has both a skate platform and classic tracks (other exceptions: Betty Whitney and  Alice's Alley) . The dry powder snow has resisted the type of compression that makes for "easy skating" so skaters will have continue to use a lighter touch. 

Prospect grooming (Tues PM) was small-machine grooming; and the East Pasture Trails were small-machine rolled which, with this powder snow, makes a nice condition for touring with wider classic skis but does not support skating or high performance classic skiing. 

Be aware that there have been active moose at Prospect (and likely other higher elevation trails.) Stay away from moose AND make sure your dog has "good recall" or use a leash in the vicinity of moose. They don't attack... but they don't back down either.
