Ken stayed at home, resting in preparation for the Gatineau Loppet. That was a shame for him, as today's skiing conditions were top notch.
Sue, Helen and I headed to P11 (O'Brien), where we met Maryanne before taking to trail 36. This is a slightly technical trail, made very easy today by the freshly groomed deep snow. It was a delightful outing.
The top two pictures were taken early on the trail, which undulates beside Lac Meech. At a junction you can turn left down to a beach where there's a bench. (Third picture.)
Soon after that, trail 50 is joined for the final few km to Healey cabin, where we lunched in the warmth of the wood burning stove. It was warm enough to spend some time outside trying to photograph the birds on the feeder. Those photos will follow. This camera failed to capture the birds, but a squirrel did oblige.
It was then a pleasurable ski back to P11. Lots of people out today, all enjoying the perfect conditions.
Today's route:
P11 > #36 > #50 > Healey cabin > #50 > #36 > P11. 22.8 km.

Nice to have seen some blue skies over that snow the last few days. We have similar weather from a cloud point of view, but conditions are perhaps a tiny bit warmer here...
The skies on this day were as deep blue as I've seen. Whilst I think we may be about the same latitude as you, you may just have the edge regarding who has the higher temperatures.
