First workout in GP and last of 2022. Conditions good to very good with excellent ski tracks all the way to Champlain and very good skate lane till T-jcn, then only good to Champlain due to heavy traffic from Fortune parkway. VR40 blue grip wax worked very well but I must have used a stickier storage wax and forgot to hot wax for cold abarasive snow because i had very poor glide, on a par with Brian Ray's skin skis. Ideal resistance training. Good turnout of 25-ish (people are back from Silver Star). Managed to get a blister on right foot...
