Let the REAL skiing begin, decided today would be a good day to try some of the backcountry trail's near P12 and it was one of my better day's this year.

My route was a real pot-pourri from P12=>#40=>#2=>Left on #21=>right on #3=>#20=>#21=>#18=>#2=>Western chalet long lunch=>#2=>left on Ridge=>#24=>#40=>#38=>left on #16 Wolf=>left on Ridge=>#24=>#40=>#33=>#21=>left on #2=>#40=>P12.

I was surprised by how few skiers were out, P8 was only half full which is a rarity for a weekend, it was a pleasant day, no wind to speak of, only got a chill coming down #2 at the end.

I agree with Ron, the little that I skied in the groomed tracks they were kind of slow, but for backcountry it was awesome. Now Cindy that would be nice to get 15-20 cm, but after last week's skiing on concrete it was nice to be out on a fresh coat of new snow even if it was not an enormous amount. Every bit of 5cm here and there sure helps.
