Green Belt

Trails Skied: SHE FULL, Glide Wax: , Grip Wax: blue extra v40

Despite the scary weather forecast, it was actually a lovely afternoon: air temp -6C and no wind. Lots of classic skiers out, but not so many skate skiers or walkers. We left P27 and headed east initially, followed the trail down to the river via the west side of Green's Creek, then headed west all the way to Rebecca. Returned on the same route. Grip wax worked perfectly on a glazed track. Scenery was perfect all the way. One of the best skiing days this season. Hope it continues!
