I have been skiing at West Bragg Creek for a few years now but Telephone Loop is a rare treat because it is not often that it is in good condition due to its status as a "shared" trail and the fact is rarely groomed and set.
Today we set off early anti-clockwise to avoid the crowds at 0730 and didn't see a soul until back to Moose Loop. The temperature was perfect at just below 0 degrees and no wind. The first couple of Km were okay but the tracks were non existent and heavily rutted. After that though - previous skier tracks were well defined and the snow was superb. I would say 2/3 of the loop was in great shape and started to deteriorate a little for the last 2km before hitting Moose loop. Car park was pretty much full at 1030am when we returned. All in all a good morning.
