Banff park announced that the Pipestone loop was single track set yesterday, but it certainly deteriorated. When I came home, I checked if I was reading it correctly, and it was still there, a single track set on March 24. I guess that is what the spring weather does to the trails. We started up at 10 am on #20 blue and it was frozen solid and did not look like track set at all. Then we got to greens #22 and $23, and they were delightful, soft, with a bit of snow covering the tracks. After #23, we went a little farther on blue #20 and returned on greens #23, #22, #21. Very easy skiing the whole day, except the first two km. Great blue sky day with the clouds only on Mt Temple. +4 C at the car at 1.30
