Discussion:
The Pipestone B20 trail has had a little new snow since last week which has helped to reduce the amount of debris on the trail. Deep trackset trail with generally low amounts of debris on the snow. Moderate fast snow. At night it was snowing lightly. There was about 1 cm of new snow during the day/night. Excellent skiing.
The Pipestone River trail is in generally excellent condition. I broke the last few hundred meters of trail to Point Camp meadows that I did not get done last week. I broke the trail well into Point Camp Meadows. It was moderately difficult trail breaking for the first couple of hundred meters and then it became generally somewhat easy trail breaking for the most part through the Meadows. Light to light moderate snow was falling in the Meadows. Conditions up there have improved greatly since I was last there. Most of the willows are buried in the southern half of the meadow. The Pipestone River seems to have opened up a little more up in the meadows recently. There are still good snow bridges over the river though.
I was unable to find the 190 cm of white ski base I lost last week. Hopefully someone picked it up.
The last few kilometers of trail before the parking lot at night was somewhat smoky. It was hard to breathe the dirty Bow Valley air coming out while skiing. This has been the case out skiing the last few trips at night. There is a lack of respect for clean air with all the burning going on in the Bow Valley by the dirty polluting Governments.
