Snowfall updates

West Bragg Creek

Dec 9 at 7 :15 a.m. from Groomer Jeff: “Bragg Creek has received only 5 cm of snow overnight but it is still falling as of 7 am. Temps are expected to rise quickly today to about 3 degrees C and then fall overnight. Grooming will commence once the snow has stopped and temperatures are below freezing. Skiing is not recommended on most trails at present due to a thin base and numerous natural hazards. If you choose to ski, your best bets would be East and West Crystals, Sundog and Hostel Meadow (not Loop). Be careful out there!”

Kicking Horse Ski Club: “25 cm of snow. Got great snow for packing –Joe did the Kicking Horse Fire Road–but he could NOT track it due to the mild weather. Like sledding in MUD he says! More of the same today–but by tonight it will get colder!”
