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…
Mar 17, 2020: Thanks to Alf Skrastins for this report: PLPP-North Trails We decided to take advantage of the most recent grooming at PLPP, which was all at the north end of the network. Even with a noon start, the snow was still very hard and icy, so we opted…
Mar 11, 2021: When I was able to stride up the big hill with minimal herringbones on waxable skis, I knew I was in for a glorious day. As Keith mentioned in his trip report, the weather forecasts don’t look very promising but I think these wonderful conditions should last…
I was greeted with a winter wonderland atmosphere when I arrived at Boulton Creek in Peter Lougheed Provincial Park in mid-afternoon. I skied on last night’s tracksetting: Wheeler, Amos, Woolley, and Meadow with a side trip on Lynx. I had not even skied on Woolley and Meadow this season, so…
It was a pleasant change to read about the new snow on your trip reports today. It’s a rare occasion to see Fox Creek with such clean snow and crisp tracks. Thanks to Alf Skrastins for the report and photos…. PLPP-Blueberry Hill- West Elk Pass Conditions were wonderful at the…
There was no fighting for parking spots today. As Chip said, “hardly anyone on the trails, no wind, blue sky….It was just about perfect!” This ski trip took me back to when days were much simpler(last year!). I only encountered eight other skiers on the trails in Peter Lougheed Provincial…
“Without doubt Tyrwhitt is the most beautiful and skiable trail in the skier Bob domain. I was there as well today and was awestruck.” -Greg Foord By skiing the late shift, I was in PLPP at the right time of day to avoid any excessive wind. That is, until the…
Jan 19, 2021 Thanks for all the trip reports yesterday. When I observed “Big Tex” parked at the Upper Lake, I was expecting that it was Tyrwhitt’s turn to finally have some tracksetting. The following trails were trackset last night in Peter Lougheed Provincial Park: Tyrwhitt Lookout Hydroline Elk Pass(first…
It doesn’t get any better than this. Although I was tempted to take advantage of the new tracksetting at Kananaskis Village, I decided to leave the crowds behind and head for peace and quiet in Peter Lougheed Provincial Park. After reading the trip report from Tanya, where she referenced the…
Our group started out from Boulton Creek with five skiers but due to binding problems, two had to go back to the parking lot to make repairs, and never to be seen again. Maybe Chip will leave us a trip report. That left Peter, Pat and me to continue up…
