Back home. And back to Gatineau Park P6, for perhaps the last ever skate ski on the old Peltonens?

Keogan shelter- a good place for wine and sup, but not this time.

A trail run on the neighbourhood trails. This is March 17.

Sunday

An old friend’s wedding took me to Puerto Rico. At Rincon, where the wedding was held, I got to try some SUP board surfing. No actual standing up or surfing occurred.

Monday

Surfing San Juan’s La Ocho beach.

I like this picture, you can feel the cold. This is the new approach to GatPark P17, through the construction zone on Highway 5. I had to drive by twice to find it. An ugly and strange juxtaposition to the beautiful woods beyond.

Hardwood predominates in the region, especially along the southern trails. This part of the park is remarkable for the diversity of the forest. It might be the most beautiful ski trail in the park.    

And it was cold.

Roads diverging in a snowy wood.

I found a spur off the main trail to Wakefield, so I followed it to a sudden end:

Under Highway Five, a very unique xc ski feature.

Thursday

Great to be back in Whistler. The conditions were poor, but the mountain is still epic, and there is always fun to be had.

The glades were rock hard and rough shape. But I kept trying.

Friday

Saturday

More Harmony Horseshoe. Easily the softest snow between the two mountains.
