Was Patti happy to be out skiing today? Jan 17, 2010
Ten of us set out from the PLPP Visitor Centre on a beautiful warm day with pretty nice conditions on all the trails which we encountered.
Bonus! some fresh grooming and tracksetting occurred last night on a few of the more popular trails in PLPP, including Pocaterra up to the Packers junction.

Five of the “non-casual” skiers on our trip today were able to enjoy a stretch of the new tracks as they skied down Pocaterra from Packers to Lynx.
We “casual skiers” did an 11k trip on Meadow, Wheeler, Amos, Woolley and back home on Meadow. It was all good. You could see a few remnants of the icy trails on the occasional downhill which had been scraped clean, but no problems.
Lots of smiling faces today! Woolley trail Jan 17, 2010
