Green Belt

Trails Skied: SHE FULL, Glide Wax: , Grip Wax: blue v30

Nice lunchtime ski. Classic track in good shape, skate track looked a bit mashed up. Air temp -6C, a bit windy, but for some reason not too bad on the trail along the river. Went east from P7, up the west side of Green's Creek, then to P27, down to the river, west to just past Blair, then back to P7. Not too many people out, making for easy smooth skiing. On arriving at P7, a woman advised us of her friend's car being broken into. Small back window smashed; purse, winter boots stolen. We did see a burly scruffy bearded 40ish guy (not sporty looking) parked near us when we arrived at 11:45. My partner thought there was another person in the car. Anyway, take care with your valuables at that lot!
