  • Short and quick exercise at Glendale Hockey Rink

    Fortunately, the Chinook hasn’t killed the ice and it will be cooler after today. It was actually too bumpy for messing with the puck, so I skated laps, doing a few intervals.

  • First ski day of the year

    My first impression coming from Calgary was, where’s all the snow?

    I arrived early, by 9:30, and was the third car in the Elk Pass parking lot. When I returned the lot was mostly full.

  • Up Elk Pass, skier set track, packed underneath. Solid snow cover.
  • Tyrwhitt, skier set track, a bit rough. Lots of bush tops poking out of the snow. I don’t know if they are waiting for more snow before setting tracks.
  • Whiskey Jack: trackset, hard packed and fast.
  • Moraine, thin snow but good enough coverage with a shallow trackset.
  • Fox Creek, thin, trackset, a few roots and rocks showing through
  • The wind was picking up and hopefully it won’t blow too much onto the tracks. There was already some tree bits on Moraine and Fox Creek.

  • Chinook Pineageddon

    Chinooking like crazy. We started early so managed to beat the major snowpack obliteration and wind.

  • Happiness at PLPP

    After some warm weather fortunately it snowed to cover the really hard spots. Mostly skied on good tracks with some fresh snow. Elk Pass was a skier track mostly due to all the new snow.

  • Warm Ski Day 18 Canmore Nordic Centre

    Super warm, with lots of humidity as the cloud cover came in. Grip and glide were challenging as the snow got warmer as the day went on with above zero temperatures all day. At lest we got in over 30 km.
