Started at 10 am, with moderate snow coverage for the lowermost 1 km (less than 10 cm) and a few rocks sticking out in the “flat-packed” trail. Beyond that, the conditions were quite good with a couple ski tracks on the packed trail. The steep section from the Shadow Lake turnoff (km 10.5) really needs lot of snow to cover some big rocks. Arriving at the lodge, I was pleased to see a skier track to reach the lake, as the 30-35 cm early season snow cover offered very minimal support. Apart from a skier doing the lowermost 7 km of Red Earth Creek, I had it all to myself. Interesting animal tracks at km 8 (see photo).
