It's not a typical March day - cold January snow and air - but the sun is March warm. As David reported the FP is fully trackset as far as Gossip Corner - after Gossip Corner only the centre skating lane is groomed putting an end to in-track classic. That snow is slow - being cold and in many places wind-blown - but occasionally I hit points where the sun had warmed the snow and the tracks would speed up and then, just as fast, put the brakes on.

Skiing should improve in the PM as the sun warms the snow. Today, however, the best option would probably be the back-country trails. There's been about 3 cm of new snow on top of a firm base would should make the real-skier trails more a delight than a chore - little in the way of trail-breaking but enough snow for control. Skating looked quite slow.
