Just so everyone knows….IT’S OVER….we are shutting down this website.
It has been a real slice since we started in 1988 and I loved it. Thank you for skiing the trails, working the trails, loving the Yoho trails. Skee ya later eh? Parks Canada is doing a great job now….. https://parks.canada.ca/pn-np/bc/yoho/activ/randonnee-hike/etat-sentiers-trail-conditions Thank you Parks Canada !!!
See you all out there next winter. Marlaine, Bruce & Denise
It’s January 10th !! The Cold Front has just arrived–with the WIND !! A MINI Yoho Blow for now……..Thank goodness.
Our trails were looking really good–the huge slush puddles on Emerald Lake finally froze up, we got 15 cms of snow and it got groomed and track set by Parks Canada right away. They even packed the Connector once more(no tracks)…should be ready to groom for the next snow fall and the end of this wicked cold snap! Time will tell.
As everyone knows…all our equipment has been sold off. We are happy to be able to move it all so quick and have Parks Canada continue to do the great work they are doing.
We are looking at getting a heavy duty bench or two built for the Kicking Horse Fire Road viewpoint between the Emerald and Amiskiwi River. It would be there year round for all to enjoy. Wishing you a very Happy New Year. Skeee ya later…… MT BB DT
Pretty sweet!!! Thanks to Parks Canada trail crew.
Our wonderful and relentless volunteers keep on going…..Here at the Natural Bridge and heading up the Tally Ho to snowshoe pack. Parks trail crew put in some bridges at Emerald yesterday. Slowly but surely…..it’s coming.
And Emerald froze over this past weekend !! Here’s a shot of it……use caution!!!
Winter greetings skiers! I did my first ski yesterday and on track set trails. The 1A at Lake Louise is quite excellent considering the amount of snow we have. Two classic trails and a large area for skating for all the teams doing practices. The 1A past the Great Divide will NOT be track set this year due to fire prevention in the area.
In Yoho- Parks trail crew has machine packed and cleared the Kicking Horse Trail. The snow is still pretty thin yet. A ski set trail on Yoho Valley Road. Emerald is still gorgeous open water…..weather being so mild.
We have sold off ALL our used equipment including the trailer and donation boxes. Most of it went to Golden to improve private trails. I still plan to keep this website going one more year….. to get input on what to do next?????
The Boathouse at Emerald Lake will be open for rentals of x-c and Snowshoes–opening just before Christmas and Kim will manage it again this year.
A HUGE Thank You- again- to all our volunteers over the years and to our Sponsors and Members. See you on the trails….Marilyn and Bruce
