Did the Wakefield Triangle counter-clockwise - the best way for today:
P17 > #53 > #51 > P19 > #50 > #52 > #53 > P17.

Tracksetting was performed sometime during the night while the snow was still falling which meant there was an underlying firm trackset base with powder snow on top. #53 and #52 had 5 cm of surface snow ; for #51 and #50 it was 1 cm. This was a nice combination when the tracks were skied in: the underlying base gave a form to the skiing; the new cold surface snow had an excellent grip and glide - and for the grooming-addicted skiers it was as close as they are likely to get to real skiing. The new snow on #52 was a delight on the downhills - a true novelty of controllable, noiseless descents.

Brown Lake Hill (on #52) is trackset with an uphill track for the entire length of the hill. This track is not necessary since few skiers would want to climb a hill as steep as this in-track; it takes manoeuvring room away from the downhill skiers and diminishes the pleasure of what can be a great downhill run.

This was a extra-special day with unique snow conditions and a wonderful sun. Early February snow with the sun of March. It worked against Calvinist skiing - the warmer the sun became, the greater was the temptation to stop and absorb the day.
