I’ve got some great news… Lots of new snow in PLPP. At 2 pm today, Elk pass already had about 8 cm of new snow, and it was still snowing quite heavily. Chip’s wish came true, and Pocaterra had about 4 cm of new snow. I would expect the groomer…

After spending three tough days of work in Calgary this week, I was itchin’ to get out on the trail. I had my sights set on Whiskey Jack and the Kananaskis Fire Lookout. It was late in the day; the bus full of seniors was already leaving PLPP as I was…
