The Flats

A very generous old-timer takes his snowmobile down to the flats and sets a x-country ski track every once in a while. I finally made it down there last weekend and it was so nice to get some skiing in on flat terrain and in the sunshine.

Snowshoers and Mount Begbie

Looking south down the valley.

Most of the tracks are set in pairs, so you can ski next to your friend.

Going off track is always an option if the snow's not too deep.

The creek is surrounded by river otter tracks.

Belly tracks from where the otter's slid down the hill. So cute.


The sled and a remarkably simple track-setter.
