Joe did the Kicking Horse today from Field.  It turned out totally awesome!  And we saw a lynx sitting on the trail—got to watch him a bit before he headed off….nice crust and a tad of powder made for good tracks.    Joe hopes to do Emerald tomorrow….and having a few more issues with the sled today so we’ll see.   We ordered the $1000.00 part to fix it!   (we hope!) Stay tuned.

All trails leaving Field Info are in perfect shape now!! Get out there! Joe hopes to do Tak. Falls road in the next few days. He only did 78 kms today on the sled!

We skied a section of the Banff LL Loppet on Thursday–from Baker Creek to Castle Mt.–What a great trail!!! Wonderful that it’s on as Virtual….spreading the fun around. Thank you Loppet organizers!!! MT

He’s out there somewhere–setting track…….

Darn! The skidoo emergency ward is as busy as the hospitals. Joe is waiting in line for a spot to get the electrical looked at. Meanwhile…the KHFR, Tally Ho and Connector are in best shape. Emerald is skier set but the views make up for it. YVR is skier set. It’s all we can do till the sled gets going again. Sorry sorry sorry…….

Joe made it up the Connector to Emerald Lake today!!! With the groomer! And he put a track down on the way home….. Best place to park and start is the Info Centre in Field. Use caution on the Connector and know it is an advance trail! Meanwhile –We shovelled out the fence above the Boathouse so that Joe could remove 2 rails and the good maintenance guys at the Lodge plowed all the snow to make a ramp down to the lake–for everyone to use(skier, s/s-ers, walkers) AND–that’s not all….Joe went ripping with the sled and cut in the skidoo track 3 wide to freeze up overnight–we hope! He cannot yet drag the groomer across that track–so the trails are still –not the best! But we are getting there. Have a great weekend….skee ya later eh….

Latest news–Joe had some problems with the equipment on his way back from Emerald…..skiers need to be aware that he could not get the track setter to lift for the bigger hills!!! He manually changed it on the Re-Connector –to flatten it–cause that could be deadly to have a track going downhill….so please be careful on the Connector!!!!
