Surprise! Unexpected, new snow! We had a lovely, very slow, but very beautiful ski on trails 53 to P19 and back on 51 and 53. Classic tracks were extremely shallow and wiggly on trail 53, but much better formed on trail 51. It was often better skiing classic out of the tracks! Interestingly, though, it was trail 51 that was "not recommended". We considered skiing the triangle,but were easily deterred by the complete lack of classic tracks on trail 50. The fresh snow and the great company made for a very enjoyable ski despite the odd conditions.
