Skied Emerald Lake and the Alluvial Fan on Tuesday. It was a stunningly beautiful day, with temperatures floating around 0, no clouds in the morning, and a few later in the day, and no wind. I don't think I've ever skied there with better conditions.
Parks Canada is doing things a little differently - it appears they're not tracksetting on the lake (as the KHSC did), and they've got a slightly different (and I think better) trail routing at the north end. Overall, the tracks are in really good condition, people have walked on the tracks on the north shore, and along the lake itself. The east side of the Alluvial Fan trail is also blown in, but the skier tracksetting is just fine.
