Excellent fast winter skiing on Swix V40 wax on the Pipestone Blue 20 trackset trail. There is a little debris on the trail but not to serious. It was effortless skiing up with great grip anD sweet long slide. There has been about 3cm of new snow since the tracket was set.
The Pipestone River trail beyond Blue 20 was partially skier tracked. Who ever rebroke the trail went off trail in a number of areas and got kind of lost. I completed the trail breaking to Point Camp Meadows and to near the north end of the meadows. Trail breaking was fairly easy in the trees with ski penetration a little over the ankles on average. Moderate speed skiing. In the meadows the trail breaking was fairly easy to moderate difficulty. Slightly crusty snow. A little over ankle deep ski penetration on average. Moderate speed snow at best. Multiple crusts in the snow pack make for a great skiing base, far better than average for this time of year. I skied up meadow until it started to get somewhat dark. Fantastic 360 views with mainly clear skis overhead. Winds were pushing 60 km with a wind chill feeling like -20c. After eating dinner, I skied back to a very nice 1/2 high moon with hard shadows. The wind stopped once I got into the trees.
