Setting track on Elk pass

Where would we be without the guys who spend hours on their snowmobiles and snowcats, grooming the trails for us, at ungodly hours, sometimes exposed to extreme cold? We’d be plowing through some pretty deep snow.

It never fails to get me excited when I arrive at a trailhead and see new tracks. We’re very fortunate to have tracksetters who take a lot of pride in their work and make the trails so enjoyable for us.  All skiers are thankful for the excellent work and all the up-to-the-minute reports which you’ve given us.

I’ve spent some time going through my photos and found pictures of most of the men who have worked on the trails this winter, although some of my photos are from previous winters.  I don’t have photos of everyone, so I hope that I can make this more complete. It would be nice to get some photos of the tracksetters who do the golf courses in Calgary and Okotoks, as well as the West Bragg trails.
