Some friends and I set up a shuttle trip today, skiing from P17 to P11 via 53, 51, 50 and 36. This was of necessity a classic trip. It was readily apparent that 53 and 51 had been groomed today, 50 yesterday and 36 two days ago. Classic skiing was excellent on 53 and most of 51, with a sugary granular base to the tracks. Near P19 the classic tracks on 51 almost disappeared into ice cube rubble. On 50 the tracks were still good, but with significant amounts of leaf and twig debris thanks to the efforts of industrious squirrels in the pine groves. The debris tended to grab both skin skis and grip wax, posing a slight tripping hazard. A light glaze on the tracks gave rocket fast descents. On 36 the lack of recent grooming left the tracks so glazed neither grip wax nor skin skis really worked on the ascents. Skiers who had not used a binder base were soon left with no grip wax. There was enough texture on the steep downhills to provide adequate control, but it was still a bone-rattling ride. 36 is one of the most scenic trails in the park, but I wouldn't recommend it until there is either some fresh snow or fresh grooming. Overall it was a fun adventure ski despite some less-than perfect conditions.
