Where have all the groomers gone...? You may be wondering how it can happen that it's almost mid-January and not a single track has been set on WBC ski trails. After the early snow was roller packed, there was (and still is) a fantastic base on which the skiing ha...

Side X side tracks lower valley entered off bear to squirrel then wolf trail up hill to wolf lower trail entry.  These tracks damaged the trail requiring repairs to top of base.  Additional tracks off deer onto upper wolf but not too damaging.

Compressed the snow we got to capture as much as we could before the wind picks up.  The snow is light but should stick to the icy base when temperatures drop.  We don't have quite enough for tracks but we're getting closer

Skate track groomed and inner and outer classic tracks reset. Wind is doing its thing though, so it might not look so nice for long.

January 19th Update:  Shaganappi is temporarily closed to the public due to dangerous icy conditions under the new snow that makes walking/biking hazardous.  Skiing is also hazardous on various sections of trail due to rocks/hazards under the new sno...
