Trip date: Wednesday Apr 13, 2022

Particpants:
Whiskey Jack, Tyrwhitt, Upper Pocaterra, Packers.
Discussion:
You'll feel like you're flying. The tracksetting on the overnight grooming is lightning fast but is still very safe. The snow is edgeable if you need to snowplow.
Tyrwhitt had a bit of fresh snow but the tracks are still well-defined and the snow is cold enough to prevent any sticking. Blue wax worked well.
It is such a pleasure to have spring skiing without any of the usual issues such as "catch and release," collembola, tree debris, and bobsled tracks.
The temperature when I started around noon at Boulton Creek was -11. It warmed up to -6.
Thrill of the day: The final 700 metres of Upper Pocaterra(as it approaches Packers). I enjoyed it so much I climbed back up and did it a second time.
