Hi Mike,
Two days ago I noticed these potholes 2 days go as I crashed into one of them on Elbow ha ha. It was a first for me to see these.

Had an awesome day yesterday afternoon on the south and west trackset trails. The tracks were pristine and the fastest I can remember at WBC. Kudos to the groomers! As SkierBob noted yesterday, I ran into him on my ski down Iron Creek as he was skiing up.
Skiers should beware of potholes at the start or end of tracksetting sections. I hit a particularly nasty one while screaming down Iron Creek (photo). It looks like it was caused by the tracksetter being dropped or rammed onto the snow with some force at the start of a tracksetting section. From my direction of travel, I hit it at the end; about 7cm deep. I saw several other such "potholes" during the day. Anyone know why this is happening? I've never seen this before.
Total distance: 34.00 Km
Also, if you can't find a parking spot at WBC this weekend, try parking at Fullerton Trailhead on Hwy 66. It was almost empty yesterday afternoon whereas WBC was packed full. It's all trackset except for the first 500m from the parking lot where it's just roller packed due to thin snowpack.
