Discussion:

We found ourselves in Lake Louise on a nice quiet Wednesday. About 7 vehicles were seen in the Moraine Lake parking lot. Temperature was -2 at 11:30.

I thought that it would be a red wax day however I always like to start cold, and if necessary move to the warmer colors. To my surprise, blue wax gave me a perfect kick and a nice glide.

We returned to the parking lot to +1 degrees. My skis were beginning to stick towards the end. Jody experienced some minor sticking throughout the day with her fish scales.

I found Tramline and Fairview trails in really good condition. I saw any imperfections as simply "character".

The tracks on Moraine Lake Road were pretty good, except for where inconsiderate hikers trampled all over them.
