Green Belt

Trails Skied: 45, Glide Wax: , Grip Wax:

Mer Bleu was groomed and track set on Sat. Feb. 17 late in the afternoon. Not skied on as I was grooming but conditions looked decent.. some coverage issues under the trees. The forest trail toward the 417 remains basically ungroomed ..not enough snow to smooth out the bumps .. uneven trail causes groomer to separate from the skidoo.
Excellent respect for ski tracks being shown by other users .. walkers, fat bikes, snow shoers.
