Report:
A warm and beautiful day in the mountains. 8 ramblers set off in search of untracked powder and we found it. Started at 10 am and deskinned at noon for our first lap. An enjoyable descent through the trees. On the way up Yoko experienced some leg cramping and pain. She tried going up further but could not continue. They say that there are no friends on good powder days. This clearly does not apply to the Ramblers. Chip and Jim skied down to the cars with Yoko and returned to Calgary. Special thanks to these two gentleman. The rest of us did another two laps in the delightful snow. 13.25 km and 550 m .
