[NMCCSC] Ellis network and Survey today

[Terri Elisberg]

Tis true! New snow in abundance made for great conditions today yet quickly
warming temps and sun made for clumping/sticking in spots.

I was applying Maxi Glide by 11:00 on Survey trail. I never realized how
much sun hits that trail until I didn't have my sunglasses! Trail is in
great condition except for just a few rocks large enough and uncovered well
to be visible and a couple pieces of wood left from trees. Easy to avoid or
go around.

Trails should be good still tomorrow in the morning but expect to bring a
scraper and Maxi-glide as temps will be warmer. I ended on Rocky Point
around 2 pm which was soft in shade but sunnier spots were starting to get
a wee bit icy.

As mentioned,  Ellis Service road was plowed this afternoon and is NOT
skiable. There's a thin coating of snow left with bare gravel spots. It has
made it a challenge to get onto Rocky Point but is doable.

I got to be on Gravel Pit this morning before anyone else and set a track.
Was perfect snow then.

Enjoy!
Terri
