Hans refreshed Emerald Trails yesterday and tomorrow–Joe is due to do trails–from Emerald– leading to Field and down the Kicking Horse. Should all be good for the weekend.

Hans refreshed all the Emerald Lake trails today! Git out there!

Hi Marilyn,

Happy new year! I thought you might enjoy this http://skierbob.ca/2016/01/yoho-valley-road-trackset-today/

Bob

Yesterday –we skied the Alluvial Fan–had lunch at the back bench and then we were rewarded with warm sunshine for a half hour! It was like March! What a treat after that long cold spell. Trails are holding up at Emerald but need refreshing. Hans will get on that before the weekend–we think.
Our Connector trail is passable but high intermediate level–till we get another good dump of snow.
Thank you Bob–for the great write up and thank you Joe for the great trail.
And this morning–we woke up to wind!! Yoho Blow???

Skied it yesterday and it was still in prime condition all the way to the end at Otterhead River. Many LINX tracks for the last 5 km. Great warmer weather.

Joe groomed from Emerald Lake to Field yesterday afternoon. The CONNECTOR is a bit rough–still needs a good foot of snow to make it good–but is passable with a track on it now. Please use extreme caution. He also did the Kicking Horse Fire Road so we are ready to go!
Last week he packed the Monarch trail which leads from Yoho Trading Post in Field to the Tak. Falls road. Bruce and Boomer followed along to do the pruning of so many twigs that have overgrown in the last 3 years. We now have a “ROUGH” TRAIL(NOT tracked yet) which is DOG FRIENDLY from town –all the way to just before the switchbacks on the Tak. Falls road. It would be good to snowshoe as well–with your puppy(or not).
The initial drop down to the river bed is steep–careful!
The trails at Emerald will be refreshed real soon as well by Hans. We had Joe build us a couple of new signs to hold our donation boxes and they are going up today.
We wish each and every one of you a wonderful, peaceful, white Christmas with many happy trails. Stop in for a visit at the store. Marilyn, Bruce & Denise

You can now ski all the way to the benches on the Tree Hugging Trail without climbing onto the walking trail. Hans was there to finish it off. He is due to do the direct Ice trail tomorrow–to get to the back also. Things are looking really good–bring on the Holidays and let’s ski!
