Elk Pass & Blueberry Hill 6 cm of new snow and fresh tracksetting created some wonderful conditions for what will probably be my last ski of the season. The snow was cold, the tracks were excellent, and I was able to use my waxable skis. There was no slush or…
You can still find some pretty good snow The skiing today at Mt Shark was fantastic. I’ll qualify that by saying “it was fantastic if you had waxless skis or klister, or were skating.” Watridge Lake road had been trackset on Monday night. The tracks were perfect for my waxless…
New tracks, sun, blue sky, deep snow and blizzard conditions. Starting out on Elk Pass today, we had beautiful grooming and new tracks. There was already about 1 cm of new snow on the trail, but all things considered, we were thrilled to be skiing on some cold snow and good…
This warm weather has everyone concerned about the condition of the trails. Are conditions still good at Elk Pass? I see they groomed and trackset it yesterday. Don’t forget, it’s the Lake Louise Loppet tomorrow(Sunday March 7). This event next weekend in Golden looks like fun and it sounds like they’ve…
Snow and cooler temps needed If any of the wax technicians from the National Ski Team are reading this, we need your help:) Trails in Peter Lougheed Prov Park are icy. Slushy if they’re in the sun. It was very difficult getting any kind of grip wax to work properly, and it’s…
Conditions were excellent and the weather was perfect yesterday(Sat.) in Peter Lougheed Prov Park. (see comments on previous thread for updates on West Bragg and Mt Shark) Beginning from the Boulton Creek Trading Post trailhead, we skied the Tyrwhitt loop and all trails were in excellent condition: Whiskey Jack: this…
Update Jan 21: Received this detailed report on the Peter Lougheed trails today from John Addicott… . “For those not skiing the LL-Banff Loppet, skiing at PLPP should be outstanding this weekend. Skiing was excellent yesterday in PLPP. Ken and I did a nice loop along Pocaterra, Lynx, Wooley, Meadow,…
It doesn’t get any better than this It remains to be seen what the warm weather will do the trails, but so far, it’s still excellent conditions in PLPP in K-Country. Skiing in -2 is much nicer than the freezing cold of -25 which we’ve recently experienced. Arlene, Ray and I…
Superb! We had just left the Boulton Creek trailhead when we bumped into Blaine(far right in photo) and his manic group of skiers at the Whiskey Jack – Moraine junction: Blaine made the excellent video which was posted on here about 10 days ago of skiing in PLPP(if you missd it, click…
Kananaskis Country – PLPP update The fresh snow and cooler temperatures have really helped conditions in K-Country. Most trails are covered with fresh snow, but are still in good condition. As you can see in the photo above, there’s lots of new snow on Tyrwhitt and only one track has…
