Skate session on 8" of new powder on top of hard pack and glare ice.
Skis waxed with CH8 and tried out the new riller - seemed to work. Wasn't fast, but no sense of suction dragging. Soft where it hadn't been skidded off. Grooming was narrow, and a lot of traffic going down the Cobble S curve had scraped it down pretty well - quite a few spills and folks diving off into the deep stuff.

Swapped equipment to classic - thought the Skintecs would be the best bet for today, but they were just so-so. Kick was really hit or miss, so did a lot of double poling.
Had rilled the tips and tails on these as well - had also been waxed with CH8, so they were gliding about as well as the skate skis.
