Sorry to have missed seeing you, Bob. By the timing of your Elk Pass photo, I was probably busy breaking the "Patterson Meadows" shortcut when you were up there. As you know, shortcuts always take longer than expected.

Elk Pass was wonderful

My daredevil days are over but I still enjoy going fast and the conditions were perfect for it at Elk Pass today. I had no fear coming down the big hills at full throttle.

The snow temperature at noon was -9 so blue wax gave good grip. Last night's tracksetting was deep, well-defined and fast.

I made a short side trip on Tyrwhitt to observe about 5 cm of fresh snow over the recent grooming.

Although it was freshly trackset and looked to be in great shape, I didn't take Fox Creek because the downhill on Elk Pass was too inviting.
