February 5 Update: the lack of snow and recent warm temperatures have created a dense, variable snow base. Expect fast, icy conditions in the mornings and softer snow in the afternoons as temperatures rise. Groomed areas are in good shape, but ungroomed sections may be quite icy—use caution.

Grooming occurred early this morning on mostly man-made snow trails including Banff (to the meadow), Banff Loop, the stadiums, Lynx, Albertville, Lillehammer Loop, Silvertip and Olympic. 

Tracks are thinning on natural snow trails; upper trails like Meadowview will hold better than lower trails such as Bow. Grooming on natural snow has been limited to preserve the thin base.

Parking lots, sidewalks, winter disc golf, and the walking portion of the Legacy Trail are especially icy—please use caution.
