Trips for the weekend of March 23/24

So the plan this Saturday is to ski #36 from P11, which is a blue run. It's a fun run with some steep stretches but it's not dangerous. If you can control your speed by snowplowing, you can ski #36. With fresh new snow, it should be quite enjoyable.

Will again meet at Ikea at 10:30am on Saturday in the yellow A lot.

XY and Michael plan to ski somewhere else. Here I quote:
"plan to check out one route called “mere bleue” to the east end near my place. it's part of the Greenbelt i believe, one of City's conservation areas. welcome to join us this sun., starting at 2pm."

Let her know if you'd like to join her. She scheduled this for Sunday

I quote this paragraph for beginners who have improved.

"Since trail # 36 is only for classic cross-country skiing, it is narrower than the average green trail. It has lot of hills, but most do not have excessive curves or turns, meaning it is possible to maintain a fair degree of control when descending (assuming the conditions aren't too icy). Some hills can be a little challenging, but there is plenty of place to reduce speed by snow plowing. In this context, trail # 36 might be a good choice for someone who has mastered some of the more difficult green trails, and wants to try a blue trail."
