Enough coverage along the Pine road
Out once again for my annual Christmas ski. Didn't get the big dump of snow which I asked Santa for, but he's a busy man this time of year so I'll let this one slide. Skied out of P16 along the Pine road. Conditions were still pretty nice though - hard track and decent coverage. A few exposed rocks on some of the steep descents but that's predictable so easy to spot and slalom around. Chose to classic ski and the grooming for the first part was predictably poor with shallow and/or washed out tracks from all the traffic that part of the trail gets(need fresh snow!). Beyond the hut the grooming improved substantially and I was able to whiz along with little effort. Took some time to enjoy the view at Lac Phillippe before turning around for home. Saw a few other people out enjoying a Christmas ski as well but for the most part it was pretty quiet. Perhaps folks were lower down in the park getting a quick ski in while the bird gently roasted.
