The conditions in the Elk Pass area of Peter Lougheed Park were absolutely amazing today. That's all the more remarkable since this comes after over a month of minimal snowfalls. It was very obvious that a tremendous amount of work had been done to harvest snow wherever possible, to build up low areas and to smooth out rough sections. Great work Dylan and Jodi!
We followed the latest grooming on Elk Pass-Hydro Line-Lookout (south to north) and Tyrwhitt, where we ran into SkierBob. From Elk Pass, we started down Hydro Line, but quickly veered off to follow the "Patterson Meadow" route... such an easy and scenic route!. We finished off by taking Fox Creek. Although the grooming was a few days old, it was fast and very much fun. A lot of work has been done to make Fox Creek so good in such a challenging season.
