Mother always said...stay away from the isothermal ones.

I'll have to remember the "one foot forward, one foot back" technique with these spring conditions...my tailbone is still sore from my experience with "catch and release" on Elk Pass a week ago!

Here is the tree on the cabin - about three weeks ago

Discussion:

While temperatures were below zero when we started, sustained warmer temperatures has made the snowpack Isothermal.
Very important to stay on the snowmobile packed trail, or you will suddenly sink down to ground! The sun's heat has penetrated the snowpack, so it has no natural strength.
We enjoyed the previous night's 10 to 15 cms of new snow which provided a nice quiet glide on a solid base.
On the return, we did encounter some "Catch and Release" conditions in the changing sun and shaded areas. Remember to use a 'one foot forward and one foot back' technique to brace yourself and avoid calamity!

Breaking trail beyond the Cascade River Bridge

Robin and the Parks Fire Crew had flown in to do a prescribed burn around Stoney Creek Cabin

They removed that tree that had blown down over the old cabin

Now, if only I could have found their BEER!

Stay on track... or pay the price!

Only wildlife seen was actually back near Lake Minnewanka... on solid ground.
