LadyBird Trail December 22, 2021

Trail groomed to cat turn around  at 19 Km on Norns Creek. Probed 153cm with 30 cm of fresh powder since the last trip. 

Goose Creek Trail December 23, 2021

With weather reports expecting several more days of snow on top of the trail it was decided that track  packing and widening the trails would be the most beneficial on this trip. The probe at the airport showed 208 cm on it with 30 to 40 of fresh. Trail up top was completely gone with strong winds blowing at cat turn around.
Last few days to get in on the great early bird prizes by picking up your memberships before Jan 1st 2022.
Enjoy the holidays and be safe out there from all of us at the CSA wishing you the best.

Goose Creek Trail Dec 19th 2021

The trail to the airport groomed with the drag to the top for the first time this season. We also track packed the Frosty trail again and pushed back towards Bankerts as all the cross ditches were down to ground level. 
At the airport we probed 190cm of good dry powder. 
Still pretty thin on lower elevations, feel free to throw any rocks off the trail when you see them. 
Have a good one and dress warm. 

Goose Creek Trail December 12, 2021

Well we waited as long as we could for some fresh snow down into the lower elevations, but with reports of many open ditches we decided to head up for our first run. Very little snow from the parking lot up to about 3 km then after that it becomes pretty decent. By 9 km there was 80cm and up top at the airport we probed 160 cm. Many areas still have open ditches on the sides of the trail and it will take some time to get everything filled. We will continue filling each trip with fresh snow but with running water in many areas it will be a challenge to get things filled as good as we normally can. 
Please be careful out there as we have not seen this much running water in December at higher elevations in many years. 

Ladybird Trail December 13, 2021

Ladybird Trail has decent snow right from the parking lot on up. All ditches were filled up top but as was the case on the Goose side we found running water in many of the ditches. Use caution on the trail as with that much running water some ditches me slowly open up again.  
Up at the cat turn around we probed 120 cm.

As we had rain to the top of the mountains a couple weeks ago there is a 10 cm hard crust down about 30cm in the snow pack. Some very distinctive slab layers were showing up as we were filling ditches. Nice dry powder on top of it should make for some good riding just need to be aware of your terrain. 
Remember it’s early season lots of hazards out there.  Please try to help out other riders by marking any unsafe areas like open holes or creeks that may not usually be there. Always remember to check out the avy report before you head out.
Almost forgot to mention to pick up your season passes before the end of the month to get in on the great prizes. Hoping everyone has a safe and enjoyable season.
