Spray west is still in very good condition. Trip reports by others earlier this week convinced us to ski here, especially with all the nasty winds on the front ranges further east. Our 10am start at -15C saw a couple of fresh cm on the trail, already tracked in by others ahead of us. The bit of fresh snow made the downhills a delight, and we had pretty good grip (VR30) and glide in the tracks. Beyond the east-west junction, its a winter wonderland with all the small trees dressed in white. We turned around after about 10km, giving us 20km for the day. Still -15C at the finish.
