As MaSid has noted in previous reports, the off-trail travel conditions at West Bragg Creek are currently very good. We started out by following the nice grooming on Mountain Road, but soon turned off for soft & easy touring on West Meadow trail to Tom Snow... then across country to Horseshoe Ridge. Horseshoe Ridge is a proposed multi-user trail in the new West Bragg Creek Trails Master Plan. The horseshoe shaped ridge wraps around a north-east facing bowl, that is perfect for a few runs. Next we went over Horseshoe Ridge and crossed Mountain View West ski trail to access a series of 2014 era cut-blocks along a side ridge of Moose Mountain. After several runs there, we returned to Horseshoe Ridge for a north-facing run, and then a descent to Tom Snow-West Meadow and Mountain Road.
