Skiing at Emerald Lake in Yoho National Park
Update: This situation was the subject of an editorial in the Rocky Mountain Outlook Saving $8000 a drop in the bucket
Ski trail grooming will return to Yoho National Park thanks to an agreement between Parks Canada, Emerald Lake Lodge, Kicking Horse Ski Club and Emerald Lake Sport and Gift.
The trail grooming program was initially cut completely in the last federal budget.
My understanding is that Emerald Lake horse trail, alluvial fan, and east shore grooming are a certainty, along with a good portion of the Emerald connector. The other trails in Yoho are a possibility, but details need to be worked out.
The Emerald connector will also be groomed and trackset this coming winter
It’s one of the most beautiful places on earth in the winter, and this is welcome news for cross-country skiers. Read more in the Canmore Leader Emerald Lake ski trails will be open for winter
