Today I skated the Wakefield Triangle, starting at P17 and following trail 53 to P19, 50 and 55 green to Renaud Cabin for a lunch stop, and then 50 and 52 back to P17. All trails had been freshly groomed for both skate and classic, and conditions were uniformly excellent. Glide was a bit limited on the freshly groomed dry powder, but control was perfect. I was pleased to see that 51 has been converted back to a classic-only trail, with double classic tracks. Coverage was complete through the swampy areas on 53. 52 is still combined use, with a single track on the west side of the trail. There wasn't enough classic skier traffic today for this to pose a problem. The skate lane is certainly wide enough that it is easy to avoid skating over the classic tracks. The steep downhills on 52 had almost too much fresh powder! Ice could still be felt under the snow on the sharper corners, but it did not pose a problem. I started skiing in very light freezing drizzle, which changed to light snow and then ice pellets. I'd guess about a centimeter of fresh snow fell during my trip. Let's hope we manage to avoid the forecast freezing rain over the next two days so that the superb conditions on the 50's hold. Today's ski was a delight.
