2011-12 ski season begins!

There is about 10" of snow in the P5 area (6-8" at P1) sunny & -2 degrees this morning.
No grooming yet, so it is tough slogging, but skiable.
Vehicles have been driving on the trails after the snowfalls, so some deep tire tracks on Kane trail.

Fallers at Work

The tree fallers will be at work next week (probably starting on Monday the 28th), for about 3 days. They will be using skidoos and will start by finishing off Menzies, moving to Ravens Ridge and finishing up along Harmon, working down to the small dam.

March 19th ski conditions

Lovely spring skiing today. Temp 0 to plus 1 degrees. Red wax worked well on my waxless skis. Trace of fresh snow overnight. Trail base is still in good condition.

fresh snow March 10th

5 cm fresh snow overnight, temp zero degrees at 9 a.m., & beautiful sunshine

Great Gray Owls & New Snow

We skied the Kane Trail this morning on 5 to 10 cm of new snow on the old skier tracked base. On the way there, we had the opportunity to photograph TWO Great Gray Owls near Kane Valley Road just east of the turnoff to P2.

BTW, the skiing was easy and the temperature around noon was -2° C.
