Classic Conditions= 3 stars

Again Demsis did it! Great skate conditions despite a thin base. I had already promised myself I would suck it up, ignore the spring conditions and test out my classic skin skis. It was a rewarding and exhausting ski, but the fog made for a magic atmosphere. The classic tracks didn't appear to be freshly groomed, but were very good between P8 and Mica. From Mica to Asticou they deteriorated steadily as elevation decreased. They became increasingly icy, squirrely or were missing entirely. Often the human-created second track was a better choice. It will be very exciting if we get some new, deep, snowy tracks this weekend!
And some news! There are now stop signs where the parkways intersect at P8. It may take some time for drivers to adjust to this change, though, so be careful if you are crossing there.
I hope my next report will be to document a huge snowfall!
