My Observations <\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Date:<\/strong> February 29, 2024 @0930am<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Area:<\/strong> \u00a0Upper Moose Poop – 5km round trip<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Temperature:<\/strong> -4C<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Weather:<\/strong> Sunny and high broken clouds<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visibility:<\/strong> Excellent<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conditions: <\/strong>Approximately 8\u201d of fresh, light, fluffy beautiful snow!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Observations:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I haven\u2019t been out here since last season, so naturally I ended up not where I was supposed to be. I started out on what the local boys named \u201cUpper Moose Poop\u201d trail which evidently, somehow connects to the original Moose Poop Trail lower down (haven\u2019t tried it \u2026 yet). With the fresh snow I ended up in some cut-block (what a surprise), not on the trail I was hoping to be on, but in the general vicinity. So I made a game of getting back to the car by trying to stay in the trees and not cross a cut block. So I got to hang out with lots of gorgeous, mature trees of all flavors!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new snow was surprisingly slow and got a bit more squishy and sticky in areas that saw some of the sun this morning. A delightful ski and a wonderful way to start the day!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rating:<\/strong> Excellent<\/p>\n\n\n
