We read the Sunday trip report by gh and found nothing has changed since Sunday.
We hoped for new grooming but Parks equipment probably can't do much with the icy trails. New snow is needed. As gh indicated track conditions improved approaching the bus shelter and continued beyond. We turned around at the top of the descent to the Spray/Goat bridges. The heavy snow was challenging skiing back with fish scale waxless. Back at the shelter we decided to try the East. Spray. East Spray was clean snow with barely visible ski tracks, but made easy skiing to the quarry loop trail. Beyond that point is was miserable!
East Spray isn't recommended by this skier!
The forecast rain/snow held off until we returned to the Hotel. Temperatures were 0C at 10:00 am and +5C at 2:00 pm.
