Skied from P10 to intersection of Blanchet & #1. A pleasant day with a good dusting of new snow and settled ice fog - in the AM all the trees were frosted from the fog.

Pretty well everything has been groomed. The parkways have been done via tracksetter with good classic and skating tracks. The secondary trails - #2, #24, ridge, #1 blue to the tower - have been done with a snowmobile dragging tracks - they all have good classic tracks..

Found that the parkways made for effortless skating - the LF6 worked well on the settled ice-fog. #1 was uneven due to the thin base. The bumps sharpened my reflexes - they also improved my bumpy-land-skating technique (not to be confused a “two-skate”). I found that properly applied those bumps and ridges can actually help you on the up hill. The bumpy terrain lead to an interesting effect - instead of the classic tracks weaving from side-to-side they weaved up-and-down.

A reliable source told me that the hill down from Wolf will destroy skis - thin with lots of rocks of showing. Probably the bottom of the Wolf ridge would be the best objective.

All the back-country trails that I passed had good tracks with a good base - particularly Western #9; long Merry-Go-Round #11 was good too.
