Things are still bipolar. I started off to skate the Doldrums -and did - and they were OK, fair - boiler-plate with a fast glide and a challenge to edge-control. When I had enough of the boilerplate I returned to P8 to return home and lunch. Just as I was about to put an end to the day I realized that the tracksetter had gone up the GP. I crossed the road to check things out and found wonderful soft sugar-snow conditions. I skied about about 1 km toward P5 when I met the tracksetter coming back - moving and forming a lot of snow. I continued on a way and then chased the tracksetter back to P8 enjoying the superb snow he had laid down for me. For a unique snow experience start off from either P5 or P8 for a little bit of paradise - either skate or classic.
