Woodpecker and Squire Point systems should be good today. The Woodpecker side had seen light foot traffic, but the snow is thick enough to ski the entire thing easily. The Squire side hadn't been touched for a few days (looks like somebody skied it maybe Wednesday) except by a pair of coyotes. Again, snow thick enough the entire thing is an easy go. However, it's probably a Saturday-or-nothing deal for less-advanced woodland skiers as 1) more people will probably come out on the weekend to walk the thing and 2) if there's freezing rain over the weekend, the whole trail will go from beginner-intermediate to advanced. This would be a good chance for people interested in "backcountry" skiing to give it a try with little risk and great reward. The snow is soft and pillowy. The steep staircase at the bottom of the Woodpecker can even be easily carved. One track set by big skis Friday.
