After yesterday's crappy ski on #53 (poor track conditions, wrong wax) opted for fresh grooming, clean snow and a relatively flat trail on the doldrums. Was not disappointed...a magnificent sunny afternoon with the wind at my back (at least on the return trip back to P8!). Universal klister worked perfectly in the open areas where the snow was wet and soggy but tended to stick in the shaded, icey spots. Slush is starting to form in a few stretches towards P9. It'll be interesting to see how the classic conditions hold up after the forecasted rains on Sunday and Monday...
