Participants:

Just me, but I skied with 3 other "reporters" that I met along the way.

Discussion:

Today's program was pretty much set in stone, after talking to a some of the BCT grooming team at the conclusion of our Sunday ski, and learning that Telephone had been trackset! Starting out CCW a bit after 10, I found quick travel and easy waxing in the crisp morning air. After what looked like a lot of Sunday traffic, Tele was still in very nice shape with much of the trackset intact, thanks to some self discipline from the varied user groups- other than one biker who often veered onto and rode the set track. Which wasn't too big a deal as I managed to reset that a bit as I skied over the tread marks. The tricky east side downhills had solid coverage and enough softness to stay in control. Then to Moose, which was still very good, but the heat was coming on as I descended the more shaded south side. Putting on kicker skins at the junction with Tom Snow south- I toiled up the brutal but mercifully short hill on Tom south of Moose Loop, and the enjoyed some easy touring in a good skier set track over to Mountain Road via the West Meadow. By the time I hit Moose Connector after descending the road for a bit- the full-on sun was having it's affect, with short patches of "catch and release" in the trackset. West Crystal Line provided a fast finish to a great ski. Pulling out of the lot at 1:30- my truck registered plus 9, which held all the way to Bragg before dropping by Redwood Meadows.


Total distance: 21.00 Km

East Telephone, with bikers and hikers sticking to their lane (mostly).

West Telephone-good fast tracks!

Enjoyable skier tracked Tom Snow- south of the brutal chopped up steep uphill.

West Meadow scenery. Off the beaten track travel was variable on 60-50-55 3/4 edged skis.
