Hello dear KHSC members, I hope you are enjoying the Holiday season and getting out there skiing 
I just wanted to let everyone know that we have picked out dates for the moon light skis for this season, Saturday Jan.03, Sunday Feb.01 and Friday March 6th. The times and locations are posted on the website. I hope you can join me, it’s always really fun Happy Holidays, Jessica.
Ho Ho Ho
Guess we’ve ALL been good boys and girls–we got the best Christmas present ever!!!
8 t 10″ overnite–what a sight to wake up to!! Track setter Joe beat us to work and was snorkelling and loving it. So–all new tracks at Emerald (except for the Connector) and then he headed down the road to the Natural Bridge to do the Kicking Horse Fire Road and the Tally Ho towards Field. Still a bit iffy between the highway and the Info Bureau so he only packed it which makes it passable and sets a new good base. Do have a wonderful Christmas on your skis or however…..Thank you Santa!!!!
Things are looking up!
Emerald got a few more trails today! With the new snow Joe was able to set an “initial” track on the Horse Trail and the Fan and put another track on the lake! It was getting down to the crunch before the crowds come but it’s done. A few tricky spots to iron out but really quite sweet. If anyone wants to set up the bench at the far back of the fan–be our guest and have a sit! All in time for Christmas holidays!!! Have fun hey….
Natural Bridge!
Hey skiers–Joe got a double track on the Kicking Horse Fire Road AND Parks got the parking lot ploughed out for you to park there too!! Do enjoy!
Been snowing lightly all day! Emerald Lake is beautifully track set but on the LAKE ONLY!! Any trails around Emerald are NOT packed and a hazzard. Stay on the lake and cruise and enjoy the open air.
Snowing ever so lightly…
Here is the scoop on the KHSC…..Hans tried to set a track on the Emerald Lake FAN and shore yesterday–but there is not quite enough snow yet!!! Branches, stumps, boulders are not quite covered enough yet to risk wrecking our machine and making it hazardous for skiers. The LAKE however is perfect for skiing on! Please stay OFF the shore trails until we get more of a base!
The Kicking Horse Fire Road @ the Natural Bridge has been packed and cleared and is skiable. Again–we are waiting for more snow to set a track. The Tally Ho is in the same condition except that the section from the Field Info Bureau is very bare and rocky from the wind we had way back. It is NOT recommended to ski from that end–but could be skied from the Natural Bridge and back. We will get a track on these trails/roads soon as we could.
Emerald Sports will be open for the season today–stop in and say Hello! I will keep you posted. Happy Holidays to all.
