Comments

Got out for an afterwork lap in Nose Hill. Conditions were okay for riding, with an HS of 10-15cm on top of concrete. Not concrete like snow, just plain old concrete. On our uptrack we found some wind drifts and cornices where we had some drum like sounds and shooting cracks. HS was about 40cm here.

Overall, the park needs about 50cm more snow to ski any of the grassy slopes, but the pathway was okay. We didn’t feel a snow profile was worthwhile so we didn’t do one. Get after it yall!
