Trail update

All trails leading out of Emerald Lake got PACKED yesterday but it got too warm to track set them.  Hans will do tracks on Tuesday morning—that is the plan!  Enjoy the tracks at Emerald Lake for the meantime.

MARCH 16 AVALANCHE IS DOWN!

Snowed a foot overnight at Emerald and She came down during the night again(thank Goodness).  It’s flanks just about reached the walking trail and it is a relief to see it down. Joe came to pack the trails and set a track around Emerald. He was off down the Connector when I left the area so it looks like we could have perfect tracks for tomorrow morning. It will be nice to ski soft trails again. Get out here.

SPRING CONDITIONS ARE HERE

The snow CRUST has formed and yesterday was day one of off track GREAT skiing. Existing tracks at Emerald Lake are quite hard and glazed. The track setter could not even make a dent into it–but John did manage to make a trail on the crust to the outside of the the LAKE LOOP only. Sweet for classical skiing and just go off track to ski skate. The Alluvial Fan is also GREAT to cruise through the trees—off track. Mid to late afternoon could be different though–you may sink through. The Connector and other trails are glazed , hard and fast also—-please use caution. Enjoy that sunshine and clear skies.

March 6

Another Yoho Blow in town and another foot of snow at Emerald.
Tracksetting is due tomorrow–but it’s gonna be a lot of work! John will likely start at Emerald???
And we are due for very warm weather also. Que sera sera hey….enjoy.
Spring should be here soon.

Wow–we got a “nordic centre” in Yoho

Decided to try the Lake Ohara trail today and we were shocked! What a beautiful double tracked wide gorgeous trail on that road now!!!!!! Bruce must of got his dream machine —some kind of piston bully or what????
And the tracks were fresh and hard!!!
