Skate-skied around the Relais, #5, trails 26, 27, 29 and a bit of parkway. Although the web site hadn't indicated any grooming, the forested trails were all freshly done and in top shape. The parkway was not recently done and had a small covering of dry powder. Perhaps it is futile to mention walkers, but for the record there was a LARGE group of school children tromping all over the trails.Their teacher did not seem to be aware that they were on ski trails. At least the kids were having fun outdoors! Further from the Relais, the boot tracks dwindled to just one set of adult boots.

This is just a perfect day for skiing. I'm heading out for a second ski, with classic, in a few minutes as our weather is due to warm up in a day or so. Book off sick this afternoon if you can, it's too nice to miss.
