Beautiful spring skiing day out there, nice afternoon to take a leisurely ski and start enjoying the benches again. I skied around the trails from P12, #40, #33, #24, #2, #1 all nicely groomed this morning, but like Ken mentioned variable conditions from shaded areas to sunny spots. You can be going down a hill and suddenly you are held back as you hit a slushy section.

I managed to find my favourite bench on #2 the only problem was I had to sit on the back rest, as you can see in my picture the snow is very deep there, which is a good sign.

As I predicted earlier last week the WALKERS are coming out of hibernation, boot marks are starting to appear here and there. I was surprised as I was leaving , a car pulled up in the parking lot, 2 walkers and a dog got out and to my surprise they actually acknowledged the 2 signs posted of no Walking and no dogs and turned around and left.

This is the time of the year where it is tricky to pick a time to ski, too early its icy, hard unless Groomed, and too late its soft, slushy. Sunny and just above zero seems to be a good compromise for decent skiing.
