Conditions range from fair to excellent for skating.
I left from p16 around 10am and there was no fresh grooming until Herridge. (However it looked like trail 36 had been groomed this morning). From Herridge on to Lac Philippe there had been grooming with a shallow classic track being set on one side of the trail. (Looked like trail 52 may have been groomed recently.) The road to Lac Taylor was freshly groomed and was fantastic for skating. On the way back Demsis was grooming the other side of trail 55 with snowmobiles, again putting in a shallow track. Around Lac Philippe the skating lane is messed up with a lot of walkers but is still pretty good.
There were not many people out this morning. Although not great, the conditions still warrant getting out there.
One concern remains-there is a significant spine or hump running down parts of trail 50. This is not the "Demsis Ridge" of last year. I don't think this has anything to do with the snow fall and may be a result of the rounding of the tops of the trail such as was undertaken on Ridge. I'm not more snow will take care of this problem?
