Best word to describe todays snow conditions? Slow! -35c overnight and -23 when we started from Elk Pass parking lot just before noon so no surprise the snow lacked good glide. Mostly skier trackset conditions except for frozen machine trackset on Fox Creek and breaking trail from elk pass trail through to the west meadows. Enjoyed MaSids snofa in glorious sunshine and sheltered from the wind. PLPP was a pretty quiet place today. -15 when we got back to the car at 3:30
