Ski lesson/tour Saturday Jan.10th
Hello everyone, just a quick reminder that I will be hosting a lesson/tour tomorrow morning (Saturday) at the Natural Bridge at 10:00am-noon. We will go through different techniques so we are all tuned up for our “Connector” ski on Feb.7th.
If anyone is interested in joining us for the Connector ski day (Natural Bridge to Emerald Lake), please email me (jstichelbout@gmail.com) with the amount of people and what distance you would like to do (one way or both ways). Keen skiers could ski from Field and meet us at the Natural Bridge parking area for 10:30am. We would like people to sign up so we have enough shuttle vehicles for the folks skiing one-way only… It’s going to be super fun relax day out and I will also teach a little along the way! Bring a packed lunch and I will have a treat for everyone once at Emerald Lake… The more the better, I hope you can join us!
Have a great day and happy trails, Jessica

Jan.2015 Moon light ski
Hello dear members,
Big thanks to everyone who was brave enough to leave Field last night (Yay! The Chapman’s)! The moon light ski was fantastic with fresh tracks (thank you Joe), warm temperatures (minus 10 deg.) and really bright (no need for head-lamps). Thank you again and I hope to see you on the next one, happy trails, Jessica
Connector
Yesterday–Jan. 3–Joe was able to make a first track on the Connector to the Natural Bridge and also tracked the Kicking Horse. Please be” very careful” on the Connector as it is with minimal snow base and we do not have warning signs up yet. he also refreshed the trails at Emerald and put down a new track on the lake shore(just off the lake) down below the Horse Trail–to avoid THE SLUSH that is pooling on the ICE! Avoid the trails on the ice. And Happy New Year!
