12Feb P10, Burma to Fire Tower

I arrived @ P10 @ 7:40 to meet my friends and I was the first car there.  There was fresh grooming likely done late yesterday because there was one skate track coming toward us and it looked like there had been a few hikers on the trail.  Still the grooming was good.  Burma had been freshly groomed and was absolutely fabulous.  Flat, wide, fast and fun; in the best condition I have seen it in years.  Ridge 1b and 24 were likewise freshly groomed and fantastic.  The great grooming continue until Ridge turns blue and then it stopped.  It was ok with day old grooming but it was still a disappointment because of how nice it was until then.  Ridge was good to the Fire Tower with it improving from McKinstry just because of the lower level of traffic.  We were surprised by how few people we saw.  When we arrived back at P10 it was full but not packed.  It was cold but not frigid, with the sun and grooming ranging from very good to fantastic it was another great day in Gatineau Park.
