Trails Skied: Champlain Pkwy, #1, #8, #17, #11 [21km], Glide Wax: Vauhti blue, Grip Wax: Teho binder with Vauhti Tar (-6 to -15)
Beautiful couple of days of sking. Grooming on the main trails is rock solid yet still providing reasonable grip. Steep descents are a bit icy but still managable. Found similar conditions out of P17 on Saturday - solid grooming though a little icy on the descents. I expect this is what we'll see for the next couple of weeks with no significant fresh snow in the near future. The backcountry trails are holding up really well considering the small amount of snow we've had. They're in great shape although you have to watch for the odd hazard (rocks, sudden dips etc.) here and there.
