I was at WBC all day. There were scattered flurries, but only about 1 cm of accumulation. That was enough to provide reasonable grip in the classic tracks and smooth glide on gentle terrain. That dusting got scraped off quickly on the steeper, south and west facing hills, which are pretty icy after several very warm and sunny days. Hopefully there is more snowfall overnight… it would sure help.

And hopefully there's an Easter Bunny.

4-5 cm of new cold snow overnight has refreshed all of the grooming and track setting. Mountain View and Moose Connector were groomed last night. The new snow also hides any dirt or ice patches on south facing hills or thin areas (like on Iron Springs, Hostel and parts of Moose Loop). There is a ski mountaineering race on Mountain Road this morning... maybe they should just use skate skis?

Thanks for the update Alf! Why has WBC/BCT stopped using Nordic Pulse? I'd appreciate an answer.

Thanks for the updates, Alf. I had a chuckle when I read about the “ski mountaineering” race on the flat part of mountain road!
