Ten minutes ago, Kananaskis Public Safety tweeted: “Field teams are reporting 25cm of new snow overnight on the Spray Road (HWY 742) near the Chester Lake trailhead. Poor driving conditions.”
The PLPP trail report indicates 6 cm of new snow overnight and still snowing. Whiskey Jack, Packers, and the upper portion of Pocaterra were trackset last night. Pocaterra hut has re-opened.
With the cooler temperatures which are forecast for the coming week, skiing conditions should be much better and more “winterlike” for a while yet.
It’s a nice day to stay inside and drink lattes and eat birthday cake(thanks, Helen!)
