Dec 3, 2019 Two more venues were groomed and readied for cross-country skiing yesterday, Priddis golf course and Sandy McNabb. Hopefully the trails on the north side of the road at Sandy McNabb will also be groomed.
The most enjoyable sking today was on Fox Creek on the return. It had been groomed yesterday, had about 1 cm of new snow, and was in excellent condition
Yesterday we took Tessa on the scenic Hay Meadow trail and did the extra 300 metres to Troll Falls. It’s worth seeing the frozen waterfall at least once every winter.
It’s the first day in weeks where it’s been mild enough to take Tessa for a ski. Her favourite trail is Wedge Connector so we went there for a pleasant ski on nice conditions.
What a phenomenal day of skiing on Wedge, Evan-Thomas, and Bill Milne trails. There have been some very positive trip reports(thanks, everyone!) but I think we found the best place
Skiers are enjoying the excellent conditions on the Bill Milne trail, but the monstrous ice flow has presented some challenges. The tracksetting crew is working
If only I had worked for Esso, I could join this fun group of retirees who I met on the trail today. I was happy to briefly join the fun, long enough for me to lead them
With so many wonderful trails in the Ribbon Creek system in excellent condition, it’s difficult to decide which one to ski next. Yesterday, it was a sensual delight to ski Hay Meadow
If you want to give your senses a treat, ski Hay Meadow. Try to do it before it gets trashed by hikers. I did a lot more than Hay Meadow today, but the pictures from HM are the best.
