Due to Health Safety precautions— the management decided to close the business(store & rentals) temporarily—at least until April 1 for now. Denise, Nick, Noa & Michael are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.
We are still in the middle of this cold front with huge winds in Yoho. The trails are taking a beating but Joe plans to get back out there soon as the weather changes. We plan to keep up the trails even though the store is closed. Get your fresh air and skiing in. Marilyn
Yoho Valley Road got tracked on Monday the 10th Feb. ******Joe is working the trail from Info to ALL around Emerald today and it is SNOWING!!!**** He’ll be doing it again before the Yoho Challenge on Saturday!!!! Ya gotta love it! Lorraine shovelled out the benches at the back of the lake and the back of the fan today also!!! Thank you Lorraine xxx
A successful weekend –at Assiniboine Lodge! Feb 7-8-9/2020.
Our guides for 2 days– Melissa & Brendan. Does this look like fun or what??
Joe groomed and track set from Field Info to All around Emerald yesterday. Bit of a rodeo on the Connector so beware. The ice is getting better on the lake! Kicking Horse is all good as well. He saw a wolf on the flats just past the ball diamond and it ran ahead of him on the track–crossed the highway and off in the bush! Pretty special sighting! Have a good weekend all….we are off to “Wanna be a Woodie?” at Assiniboine Lodge! Skee ya later eh?
The first section of the Tree Hugger Trail–from the Boathouse to the uphill of the Horse Trail is NOW CLOSED– due to avalanche danger!
Do NOT ski beneath the open slide path area. Joe will be out there today to attempt putting a trail on the ice parallel to the lodge bridge–which then heads to the uphill on the Horse Trail and the remainder of the Tree Hugger Trail. Volunteers are going ahead of him to snow shoe the ice section and check for slush pockets. It’s been very mild this month. Hopefully we can make it work! Depending on the conditions–he may not be able to get the heavy track setter across the ice–so the trails will remain a bit washed out as they are now.
There is good skiing from Field all the way down the Kicking Horse Fire Road or start at the Natural Bridge to go down. Marilyn
Joe’s on it today(Thursday)–grooming and laying a track. Take advantage of it!
Him and Flint worked on the Connector on Wednesday and did punch through end to end –with the sled only — it was a tough go….many trees and lots of work. It is still NOT ready, not great and NOT tracked! Passable but beware!!!! Snowshoeing it before it gets tracked would help some more.
