After reading Jeff's exciting report, I decided to ski Goat Creek. I started at 10 a.m. (with the time change, it was really only 9 a.m.) It was -3C at the trailhead. The trail was frozen and pretty hard, so I even took my skis off and walked down to the Death Bridge, which I had never done before. After the bridge, the snow started to improve and it was good down to the second bridge. I did not see anybody till the sunny shelter, where I had lunch. Only after lunch, there were quite a few people on the trail coming from Banff. But the snow started to be too wet and there were also a lot of needles and pine cones in the tracks. Great day, great temperature, but not perfect tracks. Especially compared to the Nordic Centre, where it was perfect the day before. Hope the new snow will still come this month.
