10/31/10 konradt Alta Choose Wisely

Saturday was great for Skate. Sunday was not. Classic no wax/fish scales was the way to go Sunday. Take your rock quiver if you’ve got it and keep an open mind on what technique will be best Coverage is good cat packing (hard to call it grooming) is erratic at best. New snow had fallen Saturday night and flurries persisted all day Sunday.

Pat Mcewen and I skated the transfer tow at Alta Friday. Conditions were very good for early season, with only a few rocks and dirt patches showing through. Pat had found new grooming when he started. It was warm, close to 50F by early afternoon.
