Double tracked out and back to Joyce Estate, but north trail not groomed. Varying conditions but overall fantastic spring skiing! Extra blue worked well at 10 degrees when I started and still worked great at 30 degrees when I finished. Sun on the first two or three uphills had bared rocks so on the return trip we took off skis and walked down. You could tell grooming was a challenge to get it as good as it was today! Otter tracks by the open flowing creek!

Trout lake trail in very good condition, a little sticky grooming. Beautiful day brilliant blinding sun. Wear your best sunglasses and slather your best tanning butter.

Rolled and packed Doan Lake Trails. New Classic tracks set. Very nice conditions. Should be some good skiing.
