There has been lots of new snow at Nickel Plate over the past month. The snow is about 35-40 cm higher up the weather station. Downloading today was miserable, -14C and blowing snow made for very cold hands!

Introducing the Jackrabbits at Nickel Plate Nordic Centre to some snow science. We looked at snow layers in a pit, probing for deep snow and looking for animal tracks.  A great day!

The weather station installed at Nickel Plate back in August is still standing.  A bit of hoar frost on the sensors. Next week I'll remember to take along the data shuttle to make sure it's working well.

Great to be out on the trails for the first time this year.  Amazing conditions yesterday.

The first snow shoe trip of winter up to Ellis Creek Reservoir #4 with Ryan Ransom, Physics and Astronomy professor at OC.

Next time out on the nordic skiis at Nickel Plate.
