Encouraged by Anna and KeithB's recent reports, I was off to Mount Shark today. I arrived to a half full parking lot at a temperature of -2 deg. There was a fair wind with light amounts of snow falling. I skied to Watridge Lake, then Hercules and some of Pegasus.
Fantastic to meet so many other skiers. Several had experienced some degree of snow clumping with the odd "catch and release" story thrown in. This was due to the wet snow that was gently falling.
Chatted with Ken and Karen along the way. They were returning back as just as I was heading out. Ken is a big Facebook YYC reader, but I encouraged him to send US a trip report sometime...
So awesome to meet a large group led by Steven from the guiding Company "To The Woods". Everyone was in a good mood. They told me Stephen is an awesome teacher.
I also met a number of gals down at Watridge Lake celebrating Isabel's Sweet 16th birthday party! Happy birthday!!
