A little late to start today. Things had already started to soften by the time I got going around noon. Skied a few of the backcountry trails which became somewhat of a chore as the skis would alternately float and then sink... and then float on the soft snowpack. The alternating speeds made it hard to stay upright on the hills but there was lots of soft snow to bail into when things went pear shaped. All the main trails were freshly groomed after the weekend and looked really good. Still the beautiful warm sunshine was a treat and I did my share of "W.R.S." since the "C.C."ing had already expired for the day.
