Today was my first full day of Covid-19 social distancing. The boys and I decided there wouldn't be too much risk in going out to the West Bragg Creek trails for a morning ski. We were at the parking lot by 10:00 with about 10 other vehicles already there. It was about -8 C and variable cloud. We got a few centimetres of fresh snow last night, but the track-setters had already been out this morning, and the trails were in pretty good shape, though our glide wasn't the best.
Today we did West Crystal - Loggers Loop - Elbow - Iron Springs - Sundog Loop. Ty and I had not been on the Elbow - Iron Springs legs before, but Sammy had. For those who are debating it, it is very beautiful back there, and well worth the extra work.

The temperature was perfect for us, and when the sun poked out a few times it was almost too warm. This was only Ty's second time but he seemed to have a lot of fun as seen in this video:
We got back to the car by 11:45 and were home around 12:00 for a well-earned lunch and for the rest of our day. I was happy as ever to be outside for a couple of hours. We will definitely do the Elbow-Iron Springs loop again - great workout, beautiful scenery, fun trails.
Bird Watch: Nothing to report.
