Skate ski from P8 along the Doldrums, across the Connector, up the Fortune Parkway, then west on Ridge Road and 1B to the Blanchet trail, return via Burma. Skiing wasn't fast, but was quite enjoyable on a snow base that is not yet granular but is getting a bit wet. The best and fastest skiing was on the shadier sections of Ridge Road. There had been grooming all along the route, but by noon almost all traces of grooming had been flattened by skier traffic. Still, the surface was quite flat and the skiing easily controllable. The lack of sun made for uniform glide. The final descent on Burma was a delight, fast enough but with no need to snowplow. There were surprisingly few skiers out for a relatively nice Sunday afternoon. I doubt conditions will change much over the rest of the day, so if you have time get out and take advantage of the first Daylight Saving Time evening of 2013. Some rilling of the ski bases is a good idea.
