Green Belt

Trails Skied: SHE FULL, Glide Wax: , Grip Wax: blue extra 3 days old

A fantastic late afternoon ski. Air temp -5C and wind almost completely diminished. Grip and glide were perfect, despite no rewax today. The whole gamut of trail users were out, including two dogwalkers on skis. We did a 9km round trip; it was very fast, lots of fun zipping along the trail and charging up the only climb of the trip beside the west side of Green's Creek.
