Skied out of P19 today on tough conditions. A dusting of snow and no new grooming. Amazing to see how much the snow pack dropped in the last couple of days. There was still a bit of a classic track to ski in but it was a bit rough. The skate lane would probably be a bit choppy as well with frozen ruts and lumps to navigate. The groomers would likely only pull up gravel if they tried to chop up the ice so we just need more snow.

Skied up to Lusk lake. The skidoos had been up to check on the hut and that had left a nice skiing surface. That said the steeper climbs had a bunch of stones pulled up. I tried to sweep the larger stones off the track but clearly there are more just below the surface waiting to pop up. On the plus side the small creeks didn't jump their banks and wash out the road. They clearly ran high yesterday but stayed in their path.

As I sat at the cabin it was interesting to hear the loud booms as Lusk lake ice was refreezing. Sounded a bit like thunder. It was a nice day out but it sounds like the better skiing was in the southern end of the park.
