We'll start with the Bad:
Kent Park. Don't bother. It's very, very melted out and muddy. Patchy as heck. Lots of sun and wind exposure, and with this chinook-style wind, that's bad for us skiers.
The Ugly:
Woodpecker Trail. Very wet. If you need to stay on-trail to ski, don't bother going there. If you can handle variable conditions, hop off-trail occasionally, and can turn/stop quickly while rolling downhill, you'll be fine.
The Good:
Tree skiing near the rez and Lake MacBride, off-trail. Corn snow, and still deep enough in most places in the trees to cover the most dangerous deadfall hazards. If you are a beginner BC skier, I don't recommend this. Also, the hill at the rez Visitor Center is in OK shape for those who are hard up for a few laps.

Good luck, all. If you are a weekend warrior, sorry, but it'll be hard to say what conditions will be like Saturday. If I get out Friday I'll let you know.
