Track in Yoho???
FYI–Joe & Bruce are off on the Kicking Horse trail today–from the Field Info– to re-pack, cut trees and possibly Set a Track to the OtterHead. I will give a new report when they return! The WordPress website usually only posts messages at 11 am daily–so I am getting this one out now–cause everyone is so keen to find new places to ski! We did not get much snow in the last week but at least now–it’s colder! Maybe winter IS actually coming??? Expect early season conditions! Thanks to everyone who sent in their membership dues–Pretty exciting to get 4 in the mail yesterday!
Still waiting for snow!!! But….
Skied the 1A again today–from the Ohara side. It was absolutely fabulous–great fresh track from Friday 3 pm. Many happy skiers! Yoho is still a bit shy of snow but Joe did manage to (only) pack some of the Kicking Horse(at Natural Bridge) but he ran into a whole lot of trees down!! Even ran out of gas from cutting. Lot’s of work there still……and the boys did put in the bridge on the fan and on the flats near the info hall. NEITHER ARE READY TO SKI YET! Sorry! One more good dump should do it! We’re all so very lucky to have the 1A and MLR. Edwin/Alice are our newest members–from Pincher Creek, AB.
New membership info !!!
Eh there cross country skiers !!
Snow is starting to accumulate on the Kicking Horse Pass and even landing in Field and at Emerald Lake. The Lake is still open water!
Temperatures are due to plummet this week and that sure gets the skiers thinking about getting out there for the first ski! Likely the Moraine Lake Road and the 1A at the Great Divide will be first up—to be packed by the Lake Louise Track Setters—but no trail yet!
Our sled is going into the shop in Golden for a tune up this week & Joe needs to put new floor boards on the old trailer for moving the sled & equipment around. The guys are gonna start walking the trail to cut deadfall and set up the bridges.
It is November….and soon enough we will be striding and gliding!
Memberships are still at the same old price of $40.00 but…next year…memberships will go up to $50.00 for the start of the 2020 year!!! It’s due !!!
If you want to pay for this and next year together—we will keep it at $80.00 to save you $$—why not pay forward and do 2 years???
Go to KHSC.ca for how/where to mail your cheque. If you prefer—you could e-transfer it to me at toulouse@uniserve.com
Thank you for your continued support,
