Green Belt

Trails Skied: 10, Glide Wax: , Grip Wax:

Conditions were actually pretty good here, considering the less than perfect weather lately. The snow is still in good shape, and the skier-made tracks are decent considering they are 3 days old. The base is of course thin here as it is everywhere, but very few icy patches, and those that are there are either easily bypassed or have enough snow on them to not be dangerous. The city "danger, keep out" barrier is still blocking the path where it crosses Davidson's side road, but there is no danger, the creek crossing is fine currently (and it doesn't look like it even flooded with the last thaw), just use your judgement if you ski through there once it starts warming up.
