First ski of the year on # 36 what a delight it was, sun, no wind , great temperature. For some reason this area of the park had very little trees that had fallen down, only a bit at the beginning of the trail and mostly near the junction with # 50 had the most branches and trees been cut and not much debris on the trail at all.

The only problem was what we call the usual "Rock garden area" (not the first big hill )just before you get to the lake shore, had a few surface rocks showing but nothing that you couldn't manage to get around.

I skied as far as the junction with trail #50 and decided against going to Herridge or Healy probably would of been full anyways. On my way back I did some REAL skiing, turned of on the small trail leading to the Carbide Wilson Ruins. The last 50 meters or so can be a bit of a challenge as you go downhill quite fast before getting to the Ruins, good thing for the deep snow.

Although P11 was not full , I haven't seen it with that many cars for a long time, i guess skiers were anxious to try out a different trail.
