Training in Jackson, incl. peering at Ski-O maps while skiing. I have to relearn all this multi-tasking. ~ 40 degrees and getting slushy in sun-exposed areas. Ellis to Wifferdil to S Hall, then down the Keeney, then N on the Ellis for a while but turned around as my stomach was growling for badly needed lunch.

After a yummy soup at Madeleine's, drove up to Prospect Farm, where there had been grooming going on in the late morning. Tried the Fisher Revolutions for the first .6 mile but they were such awful clunkers, it made the difference between pleasant to dreadful. Of course it was after lunch, and the slush was now getting worse in the sun. So went back to the car and grabbed the Rossis. But I did use 10cm shorter poles, which did slow me down . Another set of Ski-O courses on my mapholder.
First the Boggy Brook out and back, then made it up to Orchard trail and did all side trails, but could not stomach going all the way to the top of the Wildcat Valley trail - just too steep in these conditions.
