VR45 and VR50 worked well and hoovered up the ever present pine needles
Skied Hector > Drummond> Pipestone (ccw) > Merlin > Hector
Drummond, Mud Lake and Merlin trails generally in very good condition.
Hector and the Pipestone loop have been heavily skied since the last grooming resulting in wobbly tracks, tracks herring boned to obliteration and tracks scraped away at the bottom of steeper hills.
The track were very fast today, so that explains some of the damage.
It wasn’t our best Pipestones day, but it is still a beautiful area and we remembered our many better days.
