It is too soon for a reliable forecast but expect the morning to be -10 to -12 with afternoon highs of about -6. Light snow is forecast Monday through to Thursday.
Proposed Skiing from the Upper Lake to Elk Pass – there are several options that can be added on – Ski Blueberry for the faster skiers or ski along Tyrwhitt.
Skiing from William Watson Lodge – we can make several options for 12 to 16 km loops to accomodate B2 and B1 skiers. A B2 route could be Amos-Lynx-Pocaterra-Meadow-back to WWL or Pocaterra Hut.
Snowshoeing options can be modified depending on the group and the leader. Here is some additional information for the snowshoers.
Everyone not skiing should bring snowshoes. There is lots of new snow and you do not want to damage the trails by sinking in with your boots.
Torpor/Frozen Toad – suggestion is to SS Torpor east side /anti-clockwise (under power line) and then from Bolton, Frozen Toad west side / clockwise. If people have time and energy they could SS to the Visitor Centre for an additional 5 Km and 155m EG. (If needed the bus will pick up at the Visitor Centre.)
Frozen Toad – suggestion is to SS to Marl Lake and then do the Frozen Toad Loop back to WWL.
WWL to Marl Lake as a loop is 4.1 Km, Marsh Lake is 2 Km and 50 m EG from WWL.
