Saturday, Jan. 10

• All trails are open and have been packed. The plan was to track-set them yesterday. I don't have an update yet. This may be the opportunity for some back-country skiing. 

• A small crew is doing some brushing of low-hanging, snow-laden branches on new section J-K (the Northwest Passage) this afternoon. Trail is open for back-country skiing. 

• Members' maps are at the Kimberley General Store. Guests' maps and registration envelopes are in the black mailbox at the trailhead. 

• Cold and windy conditions - wind chill is minus 22 C at 8:30 am. Go prepared and be safe.
