Not the nicest ski, and quite a contrast to all the previous ones. Near the Relais, as expected, the snow was thinner than ever and tracks were down to dirt, grass or ice in many places. One spot on 27 had a vicious, exposed black rock. The real surprise was the lack of grooming on the lower parkways. Everything was skied down although snow depth seems quite good in this area. The classic tracks were glazed from the weekend traffic and many of them had lost their sidewalls. It took a lot of mental effort to get any grip! Surprisingly grooming began at Mica, where it was excellent. Poles did break through occasionally between Kingsmere and Mulvihill. We desperately need more snow! (no photos today - just not an inspiring day).
