Our revised ski route of Upper Meissner trails was a good choice - the groomed trails were in fine shape and everyone had a pleasant ski in good trail conditions.  We saw only a handful of other skiers on our Tangent-Gentian-Gilia-Bitterbrush-Snowbush-Tangent route from Swampy.  The temperature was about perfect, no wind, and bluebird skies.  We skied about 6.1 miles fairly quickly but it didn't seem too strenuous.  Still working on our ski conditioning.
