Green Belt

Trails Skied: 50, 51, Glide Wax: universal, Grip Wax: blue

Much better conditions compared to yesterday at Mer Bleu. Milder temps and good tracking courtesy of all the skiers out today on both 50 and 51. The underlying groomed base on 51 is much better with yesterday's 5 cms of new snow packed down into the tracks. The outhouse facility at P23 is now open for the winter. Was closed last year....
