Early ski on the fresh snow. Wasn't sure what I would arrive to so I brought my waxless skis to cover all bases. Was pleased to arrive at P8 and find the grooming operations had begun. Only one side of the parkway had been done at that hour but I assume they were out on the loop and it would all get a treatment by mid morning. One classic track had been set and a nice skating lane compacted. The classic track was a bit rough. Likely the wet, heavy snow was sticking and tearing from the grooming sled so it was a little choppy. Not quite World Cup grade but very serviceable, straight and true. A huge improvement over the "self groomed" classic tracks we've had for the last couple of weeks - finally enough snow! Despite the +1C temperature the snow pack (yes we have one now) was freezing up the skate lane and it looked to be solidifying by the minute. Hopefully it doesn't get too warm/slushy in the next few days as it was quite good this morning. Beautiful morning in the park with the wet snow clinging to every branch and bow. Good day to have yur camera - once the sun comes up!
