The boys came from Lake Louise today–to rescue Hans who has an injured foot. (not due to track setting). Leland put the Yoho Valley Road into shape and Andrew started on Emerald. It’s all beautifully done again—all except the the Connector and the full loop on the lake. The direct route to the back of the lake on the ice is done and so is the shore trail ALL around the lake. Perfect time to do this before it gets walked to much. Thank you guys.

Trail update for the Lake Louise to Banff Loppet!
The trail starting at the Lake Louise Chateau, down to the Bow river loop, to Baker Creek and Caslte Junction is in great condition! It keeps going to Johnston Canyon, the Saw back, all the way to the Sunshine turn off ( some section are difficult through there). Then from Healy creek, all the way to Banff is great for skating. Head out and explore some sections of this trail, only groomed once a year! I skied the whole distance yesterday and trail was in the best condition I have ever skied it ! Have fun, call me if you have any questions,Jessica.

Jan. 20 UPDATE
Skied the Connector today–6 kms of it back and forth(top end) and it was fabulous with 10-15 cms of fresh beautiful powder on it. Got back to our car and found a lovely note from our Park Canada track setter. It said ” Hi guys, completed the K-Horse & Tally Ho but not Tak. These 2 are in excellent Cond. Should be a fantastic week-end. Hope your had a great ski, Carl
And we did and thank you Carl—now everyone else can also. Sooooooo sweet—only in Yoho hey…..

Looks like Carl did the Yoho Valley Road today and the Kicking Horse Fire Road also.
Saturday will bring Leland to Emerald Lake to re-track the lake trails.We are getting some lovely snow to go with the milder temperatures! Come on out & ENJOY—you deserve it after that cold snap.

3 pm with all new tracks at Emerald Lake! He did do the far side of the lake as well (SE side).
Connector is tracked again and is Good to Fair.
Takkakaw Falls road and the Flats by the INFO center are HARD, ICY and not recommended. Hans may work on the Kicking Horse Fire road tomorrow! Bring on the warmer weather and lets ski again.
