This report is from the Acting Visitor Experience Team Leader IV, Lake Louise, Yoho & Kootenay Field Unit:
“The Pipestone parking lot has been plowed. But conditions on the Pipestone trails are very poor and not recommended. The groomers have gone in there and packed, rolled and shovelled on the weekend just past but conditions are rough and sketchy. There is not enough snow. Creeks have not thoroughly frozen over yet. Trail crew will not go back in until at least another 10-15 cm of snow falls. Definitely not recommended yet.”
