A great ski was had by all! THANK YOU GROOMERS!
Good conditions with a few caveats.
There is a small bit of open water 0n Trail #21,Hector,about 200m South of the north junction with Trail #20, Pipestone Loop.(this could be dangerous if you are going south on Trail #21 as you are on a downhill section)
There is an area of ice (see picture) on the northwest section of Trail #20, Pipestone Loop. (not dangerous as there is room to stop and ski around)
Many needles on some parts of trail, but did not affect our skiing.
The track and base are hard and fast making some downhills challenging for less experienced skiers.
-17C 9:30AM, -10C 12:45PM Any combination of Blue and Green wax worked on the fine crystalline snow.
