22Feb Trail 50

Today, for skating on Trail 50, the conditions ranged from ok to poor.  According to the website there was grooming yesterday.  However today it felt like fresh grooming because both sides were very soft with plenty of corduroy visible.  There was then a snowmobile driven down the middle.  The snowmobile helped by making it nice and firm.

As one approached Lac Philippe there was significant deterioration.   There was more snowmobile traffic and lots of hiking on the trail.  Even the grooming itself, from yesterday, didn't seem to have flattened the skate lane between the Lac and P19.  This stretch was really bad.

Trail 54 was in the best shape but it too had a snowmobile track down the middle.
