We are all thinking of skiing soon but we do need to enjoy the moment! These clear sunny days make for fun skating on local ponds and lakes. Here are Bruce & I just outside of Field townsite loving the silky ice.

The boys have had the machine tuned up, put in some bridges over creeks (by the way—Emerald Lake Lodge has built a brand new huge bridge to their property!)

And… same as other years—if you want “EMAIL UPDATES” for the latest trail conditions and events from our website blog—just subscribe — at the bottom of any page.

Just waiting for snow but this is so sweet! Talk to you soon, KHSC
