Well, we picked a beautiful day to ski Skogan. Sunny, mostly calm, -12C to -4C. Starting from Ribbon Creek, we skied Hidden Trail (brand new tracks), and crossed through the Nakiska ski area (see note below) to meet the Skogan Trail at the top of Ruthies. From there it's a steady grind to the top (unlike Bob Truman yesterday, we did herringbone quite a bit). Nice to meet Helen Reid and friend Janice near the top. The return trip gave us nice speeds, occasionally requiring snow-plowing for control on the steeper lower slopes which had been well used by the time we returned. Quite a few people out today.
Note - to cross through the Nakiska ski area, we were required to purchase "Facility Access" passes for $5 each. New this year....
