Nordic not so good

 Due to yesterdays warm sun and some elk having a party , the Nordic area is poor to fair now

One member reported the downhills as scary fast . so if you go out be careful!

Nordic condition Nov 26

 Fen Smit groomed and track set the main trail and roller pack the dog track this morning

Conditions not too bad for this early in the season .The main track is fare to good , with standing water and thin in spots.
The dog track starts with snow and ends bare.
The track from the prayer flags to Bucky is roller packed, the snow depth varies from 6 " at the prayer flags to 16" at Bucky

I will do it later this week if we get more snow.

PREVENTING INVASIVE SPECIES

The West Kootenay region is an outdoor enthusiasts paradise, with endless recreational opportunities. While enjoying all that the Kootenay Lake region has to offer please keep in mind that invasive species can act as hitchhikers and latch onto your clothing and gear. Stopping the spread of invasive species is as easy as PLAY CLEAN GO. For more details on how you can take action visit the CKISS website.

 Our next KORTS work party will be brushing and deadfall clearing the 2km Mt Buchanan loop trail……date To Be Determined…..as snow still blocks vehicle travel to the summit. 

If you’re keen and looking for something to do, please consider power weed whacking the Kaslo Mountain Bike Park Trail downhill connector between the Upper and Lower trail areas. KORTS can provide the string weed whipper, fuel, and safety equipment. RSVP if you would be interested to do this, and especially if on a regular basis over the summer.

Happy Trails
