Pipestone trails were trackset on Feb 14.
Feb 15, 2021: Although it pertains mostly to backcountry skiers, I don’t imagine there will be many opportunities to post such a blog title. Thanks, MAAD. If you haven’t heard, there was an earthquake in Banff.
Baker to Castle was trackset on Feb 14
The coming week should be one of the best for xc skiing throughout the SkierBob universe with mild temperatures and excellent snow and trail conditions. Trails which have been trackset in the past week should all be in reasonably good shape due to little fresh snow and light skier traffic.
Although still a bit frosty in Calgary, the highs in the mountains should reach single digits today.
Woolley trail was trackset last night
With so many choices, I’m hoping it will spread everyone out and we won’t have to fight for parking space today which is Family Day.
A reminder, you’ll encounter a 900-metre reroute of the Bill Milne trail due to the large ice flow.
Feb 14 Tracksetting
PLPP: Amos, Meadow(partial), Woolley, Wheeler. Pocaterra shows as being groomed on the 14th, but it was early morning yesterday.
Lake Louise: Pipestone trails.
Castle Junction to Baker Creek
Shaganappi golf course: “All skate lanes have been groomed the evening of February 14 by one volunteer after discovering an electrical issue made it impossible to use the track setter or knives on the drag groomer. (sorry classic skiers!!!)”
