Discussion:

Today I talked to Jeff H, the Backcountry Maintenance coordinator at Lake Louise for an update on grooming.

He said they may start machine packing Moraine Lake Road and the Great Divide when 20 cm of snow has accumulated.

Understandably, he's cautious about beginning too early, as the sleds and equipment may otherwise become damaged. He explained the equipment has to last all winter, so it's best to be cautious.
