Green Belt
Trails Skied: 45, Glide Wax: , Grip Wax: -10 to -18
CLASSIC: Quick jaunt out from Leitrim this time. The track set is still pretty solid though it is starting to get ragged in places with all the traffic.
WEATHER: Layers worked again. Try it, you may be amazed.
TRAFFIC: No one there when I arrived at 3:15. I passed P18 and it looked like it had about 5 cars in the lot.
