We arrived at Boulton Creek Bridge Parking at about 10:30 with the temp at minus 7. Only 4 cars in the lot... very few people out today. Skied up Whiskey Jack which was hard packed. I needed to extend my grip zone using extra blue wax to reduce the slipping going up hill. We met the sun on Thwitt and a small amount of new snow maybe 1 cm. At Elk Pass the Sun was replaced with Fog. I looked over the pass towards Elk Creek Cabin to check on conditions as we are staying there in 2 weeks. The Road is all ploughed up as you can see from my foggy photo. Maybe someone will make a new ski trail before we go. Down Hydroline and Patterson which was fast but because of that little bit of new snow we could easy control our speed. Fox Creek back to Boulton was even more fun. There was some debris but not much to worry about. Over a great day at PLPP.
