I skied a reverse Skier Bob Special 17km today - started at Boulton Bridge,skied Boulton Creek, Fox Creek, Elk Pass, Tyrwhitt, and down Whiskey Jack.(a Skier Bob Special would go clockwise)
Met 4 people in the outer reaches. But when I came to the top of Whiskey Jack there were two dozen happy skiers having lunch or chatting in the sunshine.
Grooming was as per NordicPulse with only the Lookout to Whiskey portion of Tyrwhitt, and Whiskey Jack groomed on my route. Smooth high speed finish on corduroy!
Thank you to the skiers who set track on Saturday in the abundant (over 30 cm) of fresh snow on the rest of my route. Blue wax worked fine starting at air temperature of -7C and ending -3C in the shade.
