It’s Christmas & it’s Yoho Blowing out there–getting colder by the night. Nothing better than a warm fire to sit by and visit. Not so for Joe…or Lorraine and Helen….they were packing the back of the Fan today. Joe did 3-4 rounds of packing so we are getting a handle on it. The volunteers packed with fatter skis and that helped a lot. NO track yet….and NO wind at Emerald either–today anyway. Who knows what Santa will bring??? It is still priority to get Emerald ready before going back to KHFR to re-track and finish the tree cutting. You can get auto updates now….just add your email to the bottom of any of our pages. Happy Holidays!
About auto updates…
Re: The RSS feed (automatic email updates for subscribers– when you add a new post): We are working to set up a new one as the old service has been discontinued. Please just check the blog for updates for now.

The Kicking Horse Fire Road at the Natural Bridge is beautifully track set ! However–Joe did not make it completely to the end at the OtterHead River. Time was pressing to get going on the bridge at Emerald and to get those trails going for everyone’s Christmas present! So he’s on it….if all goes well there. We helped ski pack some of the fan….very sugary base!!! Set up one bench at the 3 o’clock spot. CRMR has the discounts set up on their website–online only–for you to book at Emerald Lake Lodge. Follow the same instructions as last year. Enjoy your Christmas/Solstice week. Skee ya later eh?

Today Joe and Logan worked more trees on KHFR and they are not done yet!!!!! It will take another day–maybe 2. The trail has a beautiful single track for 5 kms. Dress warm!
Work has been accomplished on restoring our website …..Members are now added to this years list. 13 so far(4 from last years payments). The “Trail of Skees” is also up and running. You can use the “Contact us” link to send us an email and you can also get auto updates from our website by adding your email address to the box on the bottom of any page. Updates only come to your mailbox after 11 am cause the headquarters for WordPress is out of New York—-I think. Often too late to be the first on the trail– just the way it is.
The information page on the WINTER RENTALS at “The Boathouse” is still correct. They will be closed again this winter. Sorryyyyyy
