Real snow from the sky! I returned to Canmore late this afternoon and was greeted by 2 cm of snow in my back yard. I managed to get a couple laps of skiing on Frozen Thunder as dark was falling. It was still pretty good on my waxless skis. I could see a lot

Peter and Caroline were skiing in PLPP yesterday and send this update: There were no vehicles in the Boulton lot when we arrived yesterday (April 23) at 9:40 am. Took our time getting ready, and by the time we started skiing at 10:20, only two other cars had shown up….

Lake O’Hara Hey Bob, These conditions are going to last a lot longer. What better time to get out and enjoy it. It has been snowing all week in the mountains, and now it is clear & cool. Today we headed up to Lake O’Hara, and we have never seen…
