Not looking good for the Alberta Rockies, thus far:

This graph is pretty representative of all the stations that I looked at, and is even lower at this point than last winter, which was dry until recovering into the normal range due to spring snowfalls.
 
A few last photos before I return home to Colorado - and even worse head to Texas for work. Decided to ski up/down Signal Mountain in GTNP today. Didn't see another soul, which was quite a treat in an area that can be so busy in the summer - easily my favorite part of winter visits.

In the foothills, biking has taken over as the drought continues.

Close to the spine of the rockies, the xc skiing has been generally good, despite a near record low snowfall in January.
Elk Pass almost two weeks ago:

Yesterday at Peter Lougheed Provincial Park. The grooming was in good shape, but the glazed tracks are FAST!:

A oncoming change in the weather pattern is looking to bring only a minimal amount of snow, but at least it's going to be COLD.
