We had a beautiful day especially on the Tyrwhit and Elk Pass trails.
We set out up Whiskyjack around 10:15 with temp around -10 C. Â That trail had been trackset back a week ago and had about 10 cm new light snow on it that had barely been skied. After a short break at the Pocaterra junction we headed around Tyrwhit. Â It had only been rolled last week. Â Again light previous usage was in evidence, but it was also easy to break a second skier track. Â It had been quite overcast on the drive out but as we ascended the weather cleared up. And by the time we were on Tyrwhit it was as beautiful a day as one could hope. Â We had a short lunch at the picnic table on Tyrwhit before heading up to Elk Pass. Â The Elk Pass trail had been well travelled since whatever tracksetting was done last week. Â We returned to the cars via the beautiful Fox Creek and Moraine trails (both only skier trackset). Â Back around 2:15, temp around -7 C, 18 km with around 35 m ascent.
