Encouraged by recent reports, I decided to give BMSP another shot this evening. I stuck to the campground and pool trail, and honestly the tracks were in excellent shape. I almost couldn’t believe it. There are a couple of spots with leaf debris, and it is still quite soft (especially pole plants), but for the most part hikers haven’t trampled all over everything. If it were just a tad firmer than I would have used my A skis, but instead I stuck with my wider fish scales. The only part where it seemed a bit thin was towards the bike campground, and only where there were some footprints.
