Beaver Tails Nordic Ski Club

After a relatively mild Sat, it was a return to the colder weather on Sun.　 As we arrived at Parc du Mont St Bruno, it was sunny and -13 C.　 The wind made it feel colder in the parking lot and other exposed areas.　 But it was quite comfortable once we got skiing.　 The sun and the shelter form the trees helped a lot.
We all assembled at the designated time of 9:30 am and prepared our skis and found our groups.　 Well most of us.　 Scott and Dan arrived early, went out for a loop and were never seen again!　 But Pam attests to the fact they were there, so they are counted as being among the 13 BTers present that day.　 The rest of us set out at 9:50 am.
There has not been much fresh snow at St Bruno so there was some question as to how good the conditions would be.　 But our past experience has been that they have excellent grooming there.　 Sure enough, the trails were in surprisingly great shape.　 The descents were a bit fast, but were no problem for most of us.
We skied between 2 and 3 hours, a couple of people even longer.　 Many commented how nice it was to be back on the trails at St Bruno after not having been here for a couple of years!
