It was tempting to tackle Shadow Lake and more, after reading Helen’s report of REC yesterday. But not knowing if there would be any grooming done on REC from the lodge operators, I went for a nice trackset ski outing on the Cascade Fire Road. Very good and fast conditions for the first 6.5 km to the Cascade River bridge, then quite good one track set to the 14 km mark. I continued on a very good skier track for 1.3 km, then fresh snow on the next kilometer made it quite slow and soft with my skinny blades. The return from the Stoney Creek warden cabin was a great cruise on hard pack set trail but not icy conditions.
