Get your dog and get out there–fresh new tracks on our DOG Friendly Trail!!!

Skied it today with Bruce–along with 12 or so others(our coach Jess and Susan too). Still quite wooly with many twigs, branches, narrow to herringbone or plow and hollow on the pole plants!!! That being said–we loved the sun and temperature and glide!
One skier at the worse section–the highest section near 3 KM from the lake said….”that’s a wild rodeo ride!!” But most of the skiers were happy to be on it regardless! Close to Emerald are a few huge fast dips over Hamilton Creek!! The RE-connector steep section is not bad at all.
It needs more snow and more sledding back and forth–so be weary and careful if you decide to attempt it. What a great weekend!!

Yes–the first track is in just today–3 pm Saturday! Beautiful soft snow and -8 temp.! Heaven–but be weary of branches, sticks and soft pole plants–or you will do a head plant yourself. Ski safe and enjoy the Connection eh?

Thank you to ALL our paying members!!! This really helps so far to clear the trails of many fallen trees and pack and groom our x-c trails. We are finally getting into so really good snow–next on the agenda is the Monarch trail to link up Field and the Tak Falls road(dog friendly trails). Does anyone want to help us snowshoe that section from Yoho Trading to where it crosses the highway(just past the salt shed)?? Let us know–it would sure help! Happy trails.

The switch on the sled broke down and needed a trip to Golden. Joe will track set the KH Fire road tomorrow while starting from Field on the Tally Ho. He hopes to do the Tak Falls road also–if all goes well…..meanwhile–Emerald is just lovely–except for the slush on the ice! Stay off the back of the lake ice and be weary of the unknown! Always better to stay on shore!

Dear members,

Mark your calendars! We will have a Yoho Blow weekend kick off with a moon light xc ski on February 02, at 8:00pm. Meeting place will be the Takakkaw Falls parking lot. There will be hot chocolate, treats and as usual, lots of fun! This event is free for our club members and is a $5 cost for non members. Please pass the word around, I look forward to having you there.

Until then, happy trails, Jessica 🙂
