It’s been a while–with this dry 3 week cold spell after the moist, warm wet spell!  Believe it or not–we still have snow!  And the tracks are holding up fairly well with the cold. They are FAST but still pretty good. Use CAUTION! The LAKE surface is getting better for ski skating on(or classical skiing) and you can get an edge now. Caution on the old icy hard trail that leads away from the avalanche path. It’s good to go everywhere else–even the crust off track on the fan and along the Kicking Horse River Trail. We are hopeful there will be great spring skiing yet to come–with NEW white stuff!!!!

Read the last post with the info on our Ski Club Dinner…..it was FANTASTIC!

Was lovely to see the blue ski–but enough already. Woke up to white! Got maybe 5 cms. for now–which will help a lot on the existing trails.  Off trails is still bombproof for travelling. The Snowshoers are sure loving it! The lake you can travel anywhere. Very icy in font of our dock and the trail leading away from the avalanche path to the shore. Still be careful of steep pitches.  But get out there. NEVER MIND—Get out here!!!   It’s our annual dinner tonite 6 pm in Field!  Hope to see you there!  Marilyn

Got another 10 cms–and all tracks refreshed this afternoon.  Thanks Joe!!!!

Got 6 cms. of fresh beautiful powder to cover up our icy trails!! And Joe track set everything yesterday(Sat).  Perfect for the weekend and for the MOON LIGHT SKI  tonite, starting at 8 pm at the Natural Bridge Parking lot.  Come on out!

The Norseman Ski Club is in town this weekend and we decided to make Sally Luttmer an HONORARY MEMBER OF OUR CLUB–for her relentless efforts in making sure the members of her Club give a donation to OUR Club for the track setting!  We love you Sally!

We tried to work some of the trails but it backfired!  Avoid the CONNECTOR  all the way from Field & the HORSE TRAIL at Emerald Lake.   We also tried to do another track on the lake–ran into slush but at least it will be frozen(hopefully hard) after tonight.   STILL PRETTY GOOD—the Kicking Horse Fire Road, the Tree Hugger Trail (very close to the trees below the walking trail and the Horse trail, and the FAN.   All good skiing — especially in that sunshine we had today!!!!   Ski safe…MT

Got to work and all the skiers say–they had a GOOD TIME !!  I expected much worse–the trails on shore are just fine–excellent for waxless skis. The lake is icy and slushy but passable. Joe brought the sled back up and wiped out the trail from Field but plans to put a trail in tomorrow.  SO–enjoy the spring skiing!
