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.

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.
