Night ski 7Feb from P3

I made the mistake of parking at P3.  If the parkway had been groomed they certainly did it at the wrong time-it was rock solid.  I saw a few fellow skaters simply pack it in within the first 200m.  I was hoping that if I could get to 5 things would improve, and they did.  5 was skiable but it was very firm.  I got off 5 just below Pink and the parkway was better than it was closer to P3 but it was not really much fun.  At the T the good grooming started and lasted until P8.  Seems the grooming around the loop is a lot fresher and more enjoyable.  For tomorrow I would suggest limiting yourself to the P8/Fortune area unless there is fresh grooming.
