As Mary mentioned on her trip report, it was an entire trip with no sticky snow, but the best part of today was meeting all the skiers on the trail who wanted to stop and chat. Every junction was another opportunity for skiers to wish me well on my farewell…
I’ve sure been hitting it lucky this week, getting onto the trails when they are in near-perfect condition. Pipestone on Thursday was sensational, and now the SkierBob Special in fantastic condition. I need to give a shout-out to Helen Read, not only for her colourful trip reports, but her ability…
Nov 20, 2020: The hut is open daily 8:30 am – 8 pm It’s a very unusual occurrence to see more fresh snow at Pocaterra hut than at Elk Pass. I estimate there was around 15 cm of high-density snow from Wednesday night. One skier had broken trail in the…
Just a reminder to purchase your Kananaskis parking pass. Another reminder: if you’re looking for up-to-date trail conditions, check the Trip Reports on the main menu. Some even have pictures. Nov 18: I arrived at the Elk Pass parking lot at 2:45 pm to a temperature of -2°C and lots…
Nov 28, 2019 The PLPP Live Grooming Report shows a number of trails in the south end were groomed today and a few have been trackset. I’m assuming these were all done with the snowcat. Let’s start with the tracksetting:
Jody was just finished tracksetting Elk Pass when I arrived around 1:30 pm. Starting at 5 a.m, he also worked on Blueberry Hill, Tyrwhitt, Hydroline and Patterson. Check the PLPP Live Grooming
The advice from Heather to go early is appropriate at this time of year. The high angle of the sun wreaks havoc on the trails by early afternoon.
If Chuck’s report and photos of Mt Shark have enticed you, along with tonight’s tracksetting, to head over there on Friday, be aware that Spray Lakes/Smith Dorrien road south of Canmore will be closed for avalanche control
I always referred to this, my all-time favourite, as the Tyrwhitt Loop but Helen renamed it the “SkierBob Special” a few years ago. I see from Helen’s report
I can hardly stand all this winning! I thoroughly enjoyed the best ski trip of the winter today. Perfect conditions everywhere. I live for days like this! Keith Bagnall has submitted today’s update
